Having your say

1. What did they say in regard to your RQ?
Most of the articles I found focused on the issue of censorship in other aspects such as journalism and how censoring can affect a childs learning as well as a teacher. The articles talked a lot about how even though it may not be appropriate for that particular school setting, censoring a subject could potentially affect their learning experience and them in the future. I also found some articles how private religious schools don't have to follow the guidelines of the First Amendment because they set there own guidelines rather than following the governments.

2. What gap still exists?
I want to find the differences between the books that religious schools choose as compared with public schools. I want to know how the opinions from administrators, teachers, students and parents changed between those two schools. I already know that censorship can happen anywhere but specifically how the learning process of students in those two different schools might be altered because of censorship or not.

3. How might your research fill this gap?
Primary research will really help because it is what my working question is dealing with. I feel like a lot of articles can't help my direct question because my question is dealing with direct interaction and interviewing of people.
