Depressing. But then ...

Here's depressing news from the Knight Foundation about students and the First Amendment:

Three years after a new federal law took effect requiring schools to educate all students about the Constitution and the First Amendment, a new survey shows that a majority of America’s students aren’t even aware that Constitution Day exists. See full story.
But, if you want to feel a little better, read this column from Monday's Northern Star. Can't say I agree with every word, but at least this is one student who "gets it" about the First Amendment.
And if you just want to feel creeped out, go to the "other" Knight Foundation page and take in "The Official David Hasselhoff Site of Worship."
