Forty percent of millennials support government censorship of speech offensive to minority groups, according to a survey released Friday.

The Pew Research Center found that millennials were the most likely of any age group to agree that government should have the authority to stop people from saying things that offend minorities, while Democrats were nearly twice as likely as Republicans to favor such bans.

The result comes amid a growing campus movement to ban “microaggressions” and create “safe spaces” free from statements deemed offensive to “marginalized” groups, including racial, ethnic and LGBT minorities.

Is that too harsh?

Government schools push government agendas.
Governments like power and control.
Government pupils learn that government control is good.

I don’t know whether it is the dumbest generation or not, but I do know that it will be the deadest. Wait until the muslims that their lord and savior Obama brought and is bringing over here starts cutting off their heads and cutting their throats. Then the yowling will begin.

When I grew up it was “sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me”. Then parents started raising kids to be wusses. everybody is a victim and their bad behavior is somebody else’s fault, according to the child “experts”.

The borg generation is going to be displeased when they find out the feds have nothing to do with the final approval of an amendment to the Constitution.

Just let the Libtards continue to educate your children.
You can spot them by their war cry “It’s for the children!!!”
About the only solution I see is to end government welfare. Hungry socialists become capitalists overnight.
