Yale Students Sign Petition To Repeal First Amendment
The Inquisitr ^ | December 17, 2015 | Aric Mitchell

Posted on 12/21/2015 4:20:05 PM PST by Clintonfatigued

Yale students are either going to be very embarrassed by what conservative filmmaker Ami Horowitz just did to them, or they’re going to nod their heads in agreement.

Whatever the reaction, the American purists among you are liable to be downright frightened.

For what reason, you ask? In short, because of how many Yale students saw no problem with getting rid of the First Amendment — the amendment that entitles Americans to freedom of speech, religion, and assembly as well as a free press and the freedom to petition.

Speaking of that word — petition — Horowitz was able to convince 50 Yale students in a single hour to sign a petition calling for an end to the First Amendment entirely.

He then posted the whole thing to YouTube. Here were some highlights.

Horowitz first approaches two Yale students — faces blurred — and says “we’re going to get rid of it [First Amendment], blow it up.”

Their responses…

“I think this is fantastic. I absolutely agree.”

“Excellent. Love it.”

“I’ll sign it for you guys. I appreciate what you’re trying to do.”

This was a fictional petition, but that anyone attending a prestigious university would support it is ominous.

All these tattooed, pierced college airheads will love basic training when the draft is reinstated for WWIII that, IMO, has already begun.

They probably confused it with the Second Amendment. Only one number off, after all. Heads full of mush.

What does it cost to go to Yale now? A complete waste.

I’m scared to think of what will happen when these whiny fascists become adults and hold public office.

Isn’t it the first amendment that is giving these idiots the right to say the bullsquirt that they are saying in the first place?

It will be much worse than what the lefties of the 60’s who are in office are doing to us right now.

That greatest generation that was in charge back in the 60’s should have done some push back. Such as impeaching the justices that allowed Roe v Wade to make law allowing baby butchering. Or how about trying Jane Fonda for treason? How about trying Teddy for manslaughter?

The same will happen today. Look at the GOPe, obama is prime for being impeached. It will never happen. Look at Hillery, she should be in jail 10 times over, and she’s running for the highest job in the land.

So when this Yale bunch and the hundreds of thousands just like them get in power, it will make obama look like a choir boy and Hillary look like a nun.

Yale is not that exceptional. They would have gotten the same results from any of the Ivy League universities and even a higher approval percentage from their law school students and professors!

It appears that Ivy League schools are either ignorant or stupid or both. Expensive experiments with skulls full of mush!

Each one needs to be expelled for violating the silencing of their free speech by signing this statement wanting their free speech taken away.
