91 Percent of HS Students Back First Amendment For Unpopular Views

"What we've seen since 2004 is a slow but steady increase in support," Kenneth Dautrich, the study's lead author and the president of the Stats Group, a statistical and data services firm, told the New York Times.

Kids today aren't taught a sense of code, honor or integrity. They see from idiots like Clinton, DNC, Soro's, main stream media etc. how to lie, cheat and steal while their Hollywood heroes back them up with stupid speeches during their awards shows. Just shows the disintegration of our country's fibers. IF TODAY'S GENERATION WAS HERE IN THE 1930'S AND 1940'S, WE WOULD ALL BE SPEAKING GERMAN AND JAPANESE.
If you want to learn to hate America, your nearest public school or college is waiting for you. The teachers and professors are standing at the head of the line.
Our schools across the country have created and nurtured millions of godless, America-hating, angry, statist, whiny, cry babies and we will all INCLUDING them will be paying dearly for it, now and in the future.
