Channel One is an EDUCATIONAL NETWORK that broadcasts into schools. They provide the teachers with aids to help plan lessons from. As part of the deal, they provide ALL THE EQUIPMENT FOR FREE and usually toss in a equipment for a studio that allows the school to teach Broadcasting. They also offer money.
They do include commercials... but there are VERY STRICT GUIDELINES on what type of commercials can air.
Most schools can't afford this kind of equipment and WELCOME the opportunity to get it for free so that they can ENHANCE the education they can provide.
As far as religious freedom... try saying it's against your religion to learn math... and see how far that gets you.
Channel One is a just another teaching tool... so what if it has commercials. If it's against your religion to view commercials... the kids would never be allowed out of their homes... since you can't walk down a street without being exposed to ads... So don't give me that religious freedom crap
