More than three-quarters of Princeton students said it was sometimes acceptable to stop a campus speaker by shouting over them, a recent survey revealed.
Some 43 percent said it was acceptable to block other students from attending talks they disagreed with.
Even more disturbingly, 16 percent supported the use of violence to stop a controversial speaker, according to the alumni group Princetonians for Free Speech.

Yet grants will continue to flow into an institution which does not allow First Amendment rights...
Boycotting wouldn’t help because that way they just get leftist Marxist speakers.
Maybe a general hiring freeze of Princeton graduates would get the message across but corporations are woke and that’s not going to happen either...
Or ultra-conservative speakers should flock to Princeton and watch as the protesting students torch the campus.
This is propaganda designed to depress old people.
If this question was asked in 1968, or 1983, or 2002, you would get similar percentages from Woodstock Nation, anti-Reagan GenXers, and neo-leftist pro-terrorist agitators.
There will always be stupid kidz. Most of them mature. It’s the Circle of Life.
The new “education” in our colleges! FILTHY!!!
Seems like they are smart enough on day one. I’d just say pay up $150,000 and graduate them on day two. They don’t need any additional instruction in life.
So they shouldn’t mind when they are told to shut up.
This is what “tolerance” looks like.
Practicing their goose steps.
“Our violence is speech, your speech is violence”
.
If they don’t like what they hear, why don’t they just walk out? Why cast a no vote for someone who likes what they hear by shouting the speaker down? In my book, the college rules should call for the suspension or expulsion of any student or prof shouting down a speaker. They don’t belong on an open inquiry campus
Fascism is never big on free speech.
Wasn’t it Churchill who said: “If were not a liberal when you were 20, I would say you had no heart. If you were not a conservative by the time you were 40, I would say you had no brain.”
Princeton. This was the college President Wilson ran before becoming president. Hasn’t changed much.
The US is collapsing. A communist tyranny is rising.
then it’s perfectly acceptable to defend ones shelf from harm with the 2nd amendment.
...brought to you by Dems and Dem control of our education system.
Are those 16% OK with the speakers defending themselves with lethal force?
