Key Finding 1: Students in 2006 are far more likely than they were two years ago to take classes dealing with First Amendment issues. More teachers are teaching First Amendment classes. In 2006, 72 percent of students say they’ve taken classes that dealt with the First Amendment, compared to 58 percent in 2004. And more than 6 in 10 say they’ve taken classes that discuss the role of the media, an increase of 10 percentage points. Meanwhile, more than a quarter now say they’ve taken journalism classes. “Have you ever taken classes in high school that ….” (Percentage of high school students saying yes)
Twenty-nine percent of high school teachers now say they’ve taught classes that deal with the First Amendment, and 44 percent say they’ve taught classes that discuss the role of media in society, as compared to just 42% in 2004. “During the past year, have you taught any classes that deal with the First Amendment?”
