Yale fail: Ivy leaguers caught on video clamoring to kill First Amendment [Fox Video]
Fox News ^ | December 16, 2015 | Ami Horowitz/Fox

Posted on 12/16/2015 11:42:25 AM PST by jazusamo

Trigger warning! This story and video may be unsuitable viewing for the "safe space" crowd.

Looking to understand just how controversial the debate over free speech on our college campuses really is, filmmaker and satirist Ami Horowitz recently traveled to Yale University, one of our nation's most prestigious institutions of higher learning, to speak directly to students.

"I decided to take this campus free speech debate to its logical conclusion," said Horowitz,...

We need an amendment barring graduates of Ivy League schools from holding public office. (sorry, Ted, that’s not directed at you)

They probably already know and they were happy to pay their tuition just to get them out of the house.

Here’s the thing, according to these college idiots the First Amendment (just like the Second) doesn’t have to be repealed.

It just has to be ignored.

I'd love to see Horowitz or James O'Keefe get a group of people to crash one of Yale's freshman courses, such that the real students had no seats.

* They will be asked for IDs

* They could then claim to be Undocumented Students.

* They could them claim the professor is racist

* They could claim only rich kids go to Yale.

* They could claim they are for open-classrooms, just like open-borders.

* They could declare themselves Yale-Dreamers.

These Yale idiots would not have been able to pass an 8th grade government/civics class pre WW2.

LOL. That’s a brilliant idea.
Would love to see that happen.

It isn’t a failure if this is what Yale is purposely trying to produce.

The failure is ours in that we refuse to see that Ivy league schools are purposely manufacturing enemies of America.

If I cannot say or write what I think or believe, it’s a short step to saying I can’t think what I think or believe what I believe. I’m not about to let some idiot college punks — or anyone else — make that decision.

Unless you are the son or daughter of a very rich benefactor or an underrepresented minority you have to have nearly perfect college board scores and GPA to even think about getting accepted to Yale ( not to mention working in a lab on the ebola vaccine.) So the white students on the tape had 36’s on the ACT, took 5-10 AP classes, and had GPA’s of over a 4.0 but had no idea what is contained in the first amendment of The United States Constitution. Truly mind boggling and a complete and total failure of our educational system. I have a daughter who has a 4.0 GPA, took four AP classes this semester and who plays violin and sings opera. There is no way I would pay for her to be around these idiots.

Bring back loyalty oaths for Teachers and professors! Fire all who are members of subversive groups. Fire all who preach anti-Americanism. Black ball any students who e-mail
or speak anti-Americanism or burn flags. Let the attend colleges in Mexico or Europe. If they march—send in Press Gangs and draft them into the Navy—5 years of swabbing decks might cool their temper.

When the leftists are out of power, they are all about the first amendment.

When the leftists are in power, they have no use for the first amendment.

"...and who plays violin and sings opera."

At the same time? Man, that's great!

I can play the tuba and listen to opera, but that's about as good as it gets ...

All of which would violate the First Amendment just as much as these idiot students want to.

You're not pro-First Amendment, you just want to be the one to decide which side of the debate gets censored.
