A majority of Americans believe the First Amendment should be rewritten and are willing to crack down on free speech, as well as the press, according to a new poll.
More than 60 percent of Americans agree on restricting speech in some way, while a slim majority, 51 percent, want to see the First Amendment rewritten to "reflect the cultural norms of today." The Campaign for Free Speech, which conducted the survey, said the results "indicate free speech is under more threat than previously believed."
"The findings are frankly extraordinary," executive director Bob Lystad told the Washington Free Beacon. "Our free speech rights and our free press rights have evolved well over 200 years, and people now seem to be rethinking them."

Right, and an unnamed Rat candidate is WAY ahead of Trump in polling.
FOAD, Big Media, and your god the Fraud you rode in on, too!!!
Frankly, I think that number's very low.
This is how a Union begins to unravel.
So which “Americans” are being questioned? Only democrats? the ones who illegally crossed our southern border, or real Americans?
A majority of the American people don’t understand the likely consequence of their desire.
That, or this poll is another piece of Leftist propaganda.
Take your pick.
This ship has almost reached the iceberg.. We ain't got far to go...
Fake.
It hasn’t been a union for a long, long time. It’s been a mega-state.
I’ll go with “Leftist Propaganda”.
Why don’t they just come out and say that the Bible has to go?
Bull shit push poll. Ask “Do you want your position on every issue to be declared forbidden speech under a new re-written first amendment?” then let’s see the numbers.
MOST of society today would benefit of an appropriate education. You know, 3 R’s, the Constitution, and a thorough understanding, and appreciation of all that is GOD.
IOW get back to the basics, teach the children, not indoctrinate the children. The results would be more than satisfactory, and freedom of speech would once again be appreciated.
When you successfully convince an emasculated public that to be percieved as causing offence is a hate crime how could they not want free speech squelched? The morons who will vote for this are clueless as to the intended result. The true definition of a useful idiot.
BS
Probably only ones who could be victims of “hate crimes”, and they see this as a way of upping the chances that they’ll be victimized.
WTF?!
You IDIOTS
bull-Schiff.
The continuous efforts of our pubic school teachers has succeeded.
They have been indoctrinating our children, over many decades, to be socialists. It happened just like adherents of The Frankfurt School hoped it would, and planned (beginning in the late 1940’s).
Now, they have achieved critical mass in the population.
F public school teachers!
