A new Pew Research Center poll shows that 40 percent of American Millennials (ages 18-34) are likely to support government prevention of public statements offensive to minorities. It should be noted that vastly different numbers resulted for older generations in the Pew poll on the issue of offensive speech and the government's role. Around 27 percent of Generation X'ers (ages 35-50) support such an idea, while 24 percent of Baby Boomers (ages 51-69) agree that censoring offensive speech about minorities should be a government issue. Only 12 percent of the Silent Generation (ages 70-87) thinks that government should prevent offensive speech toward minorities.
The poll comes at a time when college activists, such as the group "Black Lives Matter," are making demands in the name of racial and ethnic equality at over 20 universities across the nation. Some of the demands include restrictions on offensive Halloween costumes at Yale University to the deletion of U.S. President Woodrow Wilson’s image and name at Princeton University to "anti-oppression training" for employees at Brown University. "Woodrow Wilson obviously … had a very ill-informed and ignorant view of race," 1968 Princeton graduate Eric Chase told Reuters. "But he is a big piece of Princeton history and he should stay a big piece," noting that it's a push to "erase history and whitewash it and put something else in its place..."

Muslim leaders in the US, UK, and Europe who have been interviewed since the Paris attacks are excusing radicalization as the by-product of low self-esteem. If we only open our borders, gave young Muslims jobs, let them date our daughters, tell them how valuable they are, let them know how they belong, they would not continue to kill. This is not surprising. Evil people always blame their evil on others. What is troubling, is that our Christian culture has been so saturated with Freud's lie of "lack of Self-Esteem" that Westerners are are immediately disarmed by this talk and then join Muslims in "the Struggle"!?! This is Stockholm Syndrome at a genus level. The faithless cannot stand up to evil.
When you mention standing up to Islam, or closing borders for Muslims you are immediately compared a NAZI, for surely only a NAZI would deny a poor Islamic refugee of "self esteem". Liberals immediately bring up images of concentration camps, etc. So the ones who want to subjegate Europe/America with Shariah are the good ones, and Christians who want to defend Europe/America from Sharia are labeled as NAZIs. Go figure!?!
This "delusion" is Rampant in our colleges, cities, liberal churches, everywhere. You cannot even have a rational discussion with some of these people deluded by Groupthink. How many more terror events do Muslims have to commit before people admit that Islam is not a religion of peace? Of course the liberals bring up all the Christian terror (one of two abortion clinics) for moral equivalence. I just send them Winston Churchill's take on Islam from 1899 (although liberals like Obama plug their ears or send back the bust of Churchill to England). I suspect that eventually, Islam will get everyone's attention although it will merely be used to drive the deluded to a "religion weary" state that necessitates the need for a Anti-Christ...

Don’t like being called The Silent Generation. I’ve never been silent in my life!
Entitled little fascists.
Well those of us over forty say no.
40 Percent Of Millennials Want Speech Censored
40 Percent Of Millennials Want Speech OF OTHERS Censored
Censored Speech is Politically Correct Stupidity.
Let’s take a best case view of this: the figures demonstrate that with age comes reason. It’s a shame that we can’t time travel and do the same survey when the silent generation was 20 years old.
Apparently if you yell “BLM sucks!” in a crowded theater, you should be arrested.
Censored speech is tyranny.
The Borg generation, “resisting #BlackLivesFirst is futile”.
“Apparently if you yell “BLM sucks!†in a crowded theater, you should be arrested.”
Well, they do actually kinda suck. When you go out there in your 4x4 there are more restrictions than ever.
I don’t think other generations were like this. Did all skew left? Yes. This is different with the lists of demands and fascist tendencies. This is dangerous.
The fools of the future, they will be in the gulags and then it will be too late!!
Talk to these young people! If we do they will grow out of it. Young people are incredibly ignorant. Remember that.
They say that exceptions prove the rule.
