A survey of U.S. undergrads at four-year universities found about a fifth reportedly think it’s okay to silence someone who’s making “offensive and hurtful statements” using physical force, and two in five also say the First Amendment does not protect “hate speech.” Quick reminder: it protects all speech, regardless of sentiment. But Ypulse’s PC Police Research did find that 68% of college students think free speech means “people should be able to express themselves, regardless of whether it offends others,” so the issue is a complicated one.
