My son (17) has just brought home a school magazine written by his fellow sixth formers. It has Alex Salmond on the front page, his arm round the magazine's 'politics writer', a boy who is a fervent supporter of Scottish Independence, and who has written the leading article. A lot of space is devoted to the arguments in favour of Scottish Independence, which are very enthusiastically put, but lip-service is also paid to the Unionist side.
The front page article about independence continues inside the mag, where there is also an interview with Alex Salmond. In another piece a teacher gives his own pro-Independence views.
These young people are living in interesting times, and it is important that they engage fully with this debate.
AIBU to be concerned that these people are not getting the full picture?

to be concerned about 16- and 17- year-olds being able to vote in the Scottish Independence referendum?
