We should lock up kids who don't like freedom of speech


iconAm I the only one who thinks we should lock up these kids for saying they don't care about the First Amendment.

...when told of the exact text of the First Amendment, more than one in three high school students said it goes "too far" in the rights it guarantees. Only half of the students said newspapers should be allowed to publish freely without government approval of stories.
They shouldn't be allowed to say something like that. I think a few years in political prison might change their minds.

I know that was satire. How about locking up (or at least firing) their schoolteachers - and most of all, the school administrators that are utterly hostile to free speech by their students.

Well it only makes sense... since they don't seem to have a problem with government persecution of free speech.

Not a bad idea; I think it ranks with the much-touted idea that gun-grabbers should wear shirts telling everyone that they don't believe in defending themselves.

MarkM has a point, the students have a bigger point. In the 60's the rights of the constitution were fully affirmed with protesting and such and were constantly talked about in the school system as a whole. Now media and government has been teaching, nay; breeding out the ideals of freedom from our young. So what goes around comes around. You big media types take note. You attack one article you attack them all. It will not be a far off day when, for the sake of security, all press shall be censored and void. The public has already put the news services on notice that we don't like you and your idealologies.
