The political compass everyone uses is NOT an academic source. It is a leftist contrived device to tie the rightwing to fascism. It makes zero sense. Left and right are undefined on the compass. The vagary is intentional.

Myself and literally two other anons are promoting a better compass.

This compass has clearly defined spectrums and more accurately represents reality. The big government, globalist, fascist, Marxists all go together on the left side, where they are seen in politics today.

Future of the First Amendment 2022: High schooler views on speech over time

The Future of the First Amendment project has been surveying high school student and teacher attitudes about free speech and the news media for eighteen years. The 2022 survey is the eighth running of this national high school survey and provides an important look into the views and attitudes toward speech among young people in the wake of the pandemic and the social justice movement.

Wow, this is a fantastic study that has been done every two years since 2004. How are the views of high school students changing over time toward the first amendment? Read it and find out!

"There is only one difference between a bad economist and a good one: the bad economist confines himself to the visible effect; the good economist takes into account both the effect that can be seen and those effects that must be foreseen.”

Thus, the first question here is, why does education have the particular structure, relations to society, and internal properties which characterize it at any given time? The basic answer to it is held to be very simple: education has the characteristics it does have because of the goal pursued by those who control it. The second question asks, why do these characteristics change? The basic answer given here is equally simple: change occurs because new goals are pursued by those who have the power to modify education's previous structural form, definition of instruction, and relationship to society.

A macro-sociology of education thus involves the examination to two things and the relations between them. On the one hand, complex kinds of social interaction the result of which is the emergence of particular forms of education, in this case the state system; on the other, complex types of social and educational structures which shape the context in which interaction and change occur. ... both a purely action approach and a purely structural approach have been rejected in favor of a macro-sociological perspective which blends the two. Action theory is held to be incomplete because it has to take the social context of action for granted, and structural theories are considered equally inadequate if they make no references to social interaction, but instead perpetuate an empty form of determinism. ... In other words, it is argued that an adequate sociology of education must incorporate statements about the structural conditioning of education interaction and about the influence of independent action on educational change. Weber's analysis which gave equal emphasis to the limitations that social structures impose on interaction and to the opportunity for innovatory action presented by the instability of such structures, is the prototype of this theoretical approach.
