Youth Debate Concerns over Internet Filters, Social Networking, Sex Ed & Free Expression Claire Karpen, Ben Colmery, Danya Steele, Phara Souffrant and Yannick Lejac, Youth Free Expression Network Policies affecting youth are routinely enacted without consulting any. Do Internet filters or preventing social networking sites in schools “protect” minors? Should principals censor controversial editorials or articles in student papers? Should graphic novels be removed from school libraries? Should kids be disciplined for wearing political tee-shirts? Does "abstinence only" education really make teens think twice before having sex? Hear our panel of dynamic youth debate societal concerns about youth political expression, internet filters, social networking sites, sex education, and media violence, and learn how media literacy can be a superior alternative to censorship.
