Whats wrong here….

Filed under: General — errr @ 7:47 pm

Im in IRC the otherday when one of the Fluxbox developers, ak|ra, posted a link to this disturbing article about how todays highschool students feel about the government, and Amendments of the constitution (mainly the first….) If you are a highschool government teacher please try and find some other ways to get your students interested our rights. I read that and it made me feel sick. I already feel we give up little rights here and there all the time, but according to the article,

“more than one in three high school students said the First Amendment goes “too far” in the rights it guarantees….”

Thats sickening to read….. What do you think…..What is it going to take to get these potential voters interested in maintainging our freedoom, and fighting for more rights? I dont know about you but I am not in any way ready to give up any of my 1st Amendment rights, and our elected officals better fight tooth and nail to keep us from loosing anything important to us or we will vote them out.. or will we with voters who want less rights???
