From an Ars Technica report on findings in a new study from the from the Center for Social Media at American University:

Here's how bad it is: not a single teacher interviewed for a recent study on copyright reported receiving any training on fair use.

Copyright confusion is running rampant in American schools, and not just among the students. The teachers don't know what the hell is going on, either, and media literacy is now being "compromised by unnecessary copyright restrictions and lack of understanding about copyright law."

Not a surprise...those of us in intellectual property studies didn't need a report to know this. But at least now there is evidence to back us up.
