Forget the First Amendment: 41% of college students believe hate speech SHOULD NOT be protected by the constitution as more universities cancel controversial campus speakers

• Less than half (41%) of college students say hate speech shouldn't be protected under the First Amendment, according to a new survey
• Just 58% of college students said that hate speech should be protected under the amendment, which guarantees American's a right to freedom of speech 
• Experts say those attitudes are problematic and illustrate a lack of education and understanding of the Constitution - and why free speech protections exist

Some 41 percent of college students say hate speech shouldn't be protected under the First Amendment, according to a new survey.

Just 58 percent said that hate speech should be protected under the amendment, which guarantees American's a right to freedom of speech, according to the survey of 4,407 students by the Miami-based Knight Foundation.

So, THEY define hate speech?

[Windflier]

Yikes.

[DesertRhino]

My M1 disagrees.

[rightwingcrazy]

Hate speech = speech that they hate.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Hate speech to leftists = Truth.

It’s not just the students. In a recent Nextdoor.com conversation I read, a gay guy was whining about somebody supposedly hurling insults at him and boyfriend during a traffic stop. Most of the commenters demanded that he call the cops and provide the license plate of that driver.

It was about the saddest and scariest thing I’ve read in a long time.

Bttt

Did they ask:

"Who gets to define 'hate'?"

[Maris Crane]

AND ALMOST 60% DO BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE PROTECTED!!!!

I love the reports that give the negative.

So many people in a negative, pessimistic, unhappy world.

And they are all DEMOCRAPS.

The fact that they included a “non binary” sample shows how far down we’ve slid.

“Censoring speech is fine as long as I get to decide what speech is censored. It’s a disaster if anyone else gets to decide!”

Seriously, this is what they think.

Thanks Heartlander. By "hate speech" is meant, whatever the DNC wants banned. For example, climate change denial is racist, so, must be banned. Denial of gender dysphoria? Homophobia, must be banned.

These people are passive-aggressive little chits, too. And vicious.

It is ironic and hypocritical for non-Christian religious people, such as Muslims, to talk about using more inclusive language.
