I really think college entrance standards in general need to be much tougher than they are at present. There are a lot of people in college who are miserable and would be much happier if they could do what they want to do and what they are suited for.
But back to the main topic -
I'd really like to know more about the wording of the questions they were asked. I mean if it said do you think the govt should control papers in general - that's scary. If they asked do you think the govt should control papers to avoid military snafus, that's a different thing altogether. It's important to know if the students were led or coached.

The group that funded the study is pro-journalism. Based on what I've heard and read about them, I would think that the study would have been biased more the other way. That's another reason I find the results so fascinating (and upsetting at the same time).
