A survey from the respected, Left-leaning Higher Education Policy Institute (Hepi) shows that British undergraduates have caught up with the craziness of their North American counterparts. If policymakers don’t act quickly, Britain is likely to become a substantially less free society.
The Hepi report finds that 61% of British students think that “when in doubt” their university “should ensure all students are protected from discrimination rather than allow unlimited free speech”. Just 17% back the free speech position. This 61-17 slant represents a big change from the already illiberal 37-27 margin recorded in 2016.
Among the other findings:
The proportion of students who think academics should be fired if they “teach material that heavily offends some students” is 36% (over double the 15% in 2016), with just 32% opposed.
39% believe student unions ‘should ban all speakers that cause offence to some students’ (more than double the 16% figure in 2016), with just 31% opposed.
76% think universities should “get rid of” memorials of potentially controversial figures.
77% think there should be “mandatory training for all university staff” on “understanding other cultures” (up from 55% in 2016).
64% think universities should “consult special interest groups” such as religious or gender societies before holding campus events (up from 40% in 2016).
86% support trigger warnings and 62% back safe spaces.
This is nothing short of revolutionary, but it echoes findings from the United States which reveal a similar generational earthquake.

I feel sorry for western civilization. They’re pansies, the lot of them.
One of the biggest if not The Biggest is that few of these children will themselves become parents. Depopulation will likely become the greatest existential threat to humanity since Noah built the Arc.
Well, every generation is the leftest generation ever... until they graduate, have to get jobs, pay taxes, pay rent, pay bills, and have some children...

Effing.
Fascist.
Most people seem to, thank God.
My brother though, got married, had a kid, bought a house, and he says he’s moving further to the extreme left with age. :(
And he only went to a trade school, not Berkeley.
That is true. My husband was a red diaper baby. He’s now to the right of me.
Why would anyone want to be a 0%er.
