Political Science: A Report on Science & Censorship

Censorship of government scientists violates the values embodied in the First Amendment and endangers the basis of wise policy-making. This publication from NCAC's Knowledge Project explores the modern governmental abuse of science.

 


Education


Public Education, Democracy, Free Speech: The Ideas That Define And Unite Us

This booklet, produced in collaboration with the National Education Association, stresses the link between public education and the constitutional right to free speech and inquiry; neither can survive or flourish without the other. It explores the issues that public schools face in teaching basic skills and preparing students for citizenship.

Abstinence-Only Education?

A directory of resources concerning publically-funded abstinence-only education. Students in abstinence-only programs receive only information consistent with the abstinence-until-marriage message. Instead of a comprehensive review of the facts about contraception, safer sex practices, and sexuality, they often receive false and exaggerated information. The result of this focus on abstinence-until-marriage has been widespread censorship of sexual information.
