I found this article to be troubling, especially this:

“The survey of 112,003 students finds that 36% believe newspapers should get “government approval” of stories before publishing; ”

Aren’t they learning anything. Have they heard of Peter Zenger, do they know the history of prior restraint and the problems it can cause.

    Young people following current events or even reading the newspapers is a very serious problem. I am afraid we are getting closer and closer to an all-bread-and-circus mentality all the time.
