Knight program to air in schools

The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation is teaming up with Channel One for a nationwide schools program Sept. 16 to promote Constitution Day.

The program, which will reach about 8 million students in nearly 12,000 middle schools and high schools, aims to improve awareness of the First Amendment.

Programming will be provided via Channel One News, at http://channelone.com and through iPod downloads. The foundation's educational resource, http://teachfirstamendment.org, provides free lesson plans, teaching guides and related tools for teachers and administrators.
