Description
As a society we have an obligation to ensure that the educational needs of our children do not go unmet. The notion of the government commanding broadcasters to air certain kinds of programming, however, strongly cuts against the grain of the constitutional guarantee of freedom of expression. Because of the importance of the FCC Chairman's children's programming initiative, and the difficulty of the legal and policy issues associated with it, this Comment will focus on this issue.
