NEW YORK (Dow Jones/AP) - NYTimes.com and National Public Radio on Wednesday announced the launch of Justice Learning, a civics education Web site for high school students and teachers based on NPR's radio program, Justice Talking. The Web site will use content from Justice Talking and related lesson plans and articles from The New York Times Learning Network, a free service for teachers, parents and students in grades 3-12. Justice Learning is designed around eight distinct civics issues that are updated twice a year. Current issues include affirmative action, civil liberties, death penalty, gun control, juvenile justice and Web censorship. "The New York Times Learning Network brings news issues to life for its audience," said Gary Kalman, communications director of Justice Talking. The Learning Network receives nearly four million page views a month during the school year, the company said. NPR's Justice Talking is produced by the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania. New York Times Digital is the Internet division of The New York Times C. --- On the Web: http://www.justicelearning.org The New York Times Learning Network: http://nytimes.com/learning AP-ES-08-14-02 1238EDT
The Second Amendment will be savaged. But the First Amendment won't fare much better.

I look forward to the 2nd amendment being flayed.
Check out my profile for a list of Congress Critters who voted FOR funding Public Broadcasting. How did yours vote?
When I read this, I spit out my coffee, started coughing and stood stunned - trying to decide whether to scream, laugh, or cry.
Question: what the hell does affirmative action have to do with civics?
Comment: Notice how the topic is called 'gun control' instead of 'second amendment rights' or even 'gun ownership'. They think the debate is over. I marvel (and cringe) at how the libs are able to define the language of our debates and bend us over their knee time and time again : (
They are a given...Over 100 Republicans joined them including some stalwart conservatives...~sigh
If these two organizations poison young minds with their drivel we will be like Sweden in 10 years.
