Public High School students? Ignorant? I thought they knew it all, taught by other know-it-alls? Sheesh.

All the better to deny them those rights when the Dems are in charge. I think this may be the problem with most of the young skulls full of mush at DU. They have no idea what the Constitution says.

I bet not one is unaware of the phrase "separation of church and state", though.

Here's a question: what were the questions? I don't see them listed anywhere on the website or in this article. This makes extremely suspicious - I believe that many of these students are responding to the Old Media's clear biases.

Concerning leaking classified information, or troop movements, or damaging information which may get someone killed, a lot of us believe that the Old Media is in active partnership with the enemy to damage America. Is this what the survey approached? If so, why are they not releasing the questions of the survey?

Without access to the questions of the survey, the results make no sense. I refuse to pass judgement on these kids until I know what it was they were asked...

"Additionally, three out of four respondents said they believe flag burning is against the law. However, a 1989 ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court found it to be protected free speech under the First Amendment."

Oddly, it is the progressive City of Boston that made the fine for beating the crap out of a flag burner a $1 fine.

They polled the students and teachers?

I wonder how the teachers did? Doesn't look like they broke that down for the survey.

No surprise here. The majority of Americans including judges also don't know what is in the Constitution or any of the amendments. They also have no concept of the original intent of the documents. They rely on the MSM or a survey to tell them what the documents mean. If they read the documents and the original intent from the writings of the time they were ratified, we would not be discussing what the Second Amendment means now.
