Spring 2003: "Access Denied: Should Youth Access to the Internet be Restricted?"
Participants
Terry Sanford High School - Fayetteville, NC
Class: AP Government
This is Mr. Hight's 6th period AP class, one of 3 of his AP classes.
We have 18 students, 16 white, 1 black and 1 Hispanic. There are
8 sophomores, 2 juniors and 8 seniors in the class, with 9 boys
and 9 girls. Our school has 1439 students. In terms of gender
breakdown, we have 52% girls and 48% boys. We have 58% white,
32% black, 4% Asian, 4% Hispanic and 2% other. It is the oldest
school in our town, dating back to 1878. We are the "Bulldogs."
We are very active in extracurricular events and have a fairly
large and successful Mock Trial program.
Our town is the 5th largest in North Carolina with about 140,000
people. It is 55% white 30% black and the remaining 15% includes
large Hispanic, Asian and Native American communities. Our largest
industry is the military with Fort Bragg and Pope AFB nearby.
We also have some manufacturing plants such as Kelly-Springfield
tires and Black and Decker. The largest private employer is Walmart
because of the distribution center. Our town serves as the major
shopping and medical center for the southeastern region of North
Carolina.
We hope to learn more about the constitution and our rights.
In the age of immediate communications, we want to know more about
the internet and how people are free, or restricted, in its use.
