College students don't understand the 1st Amendment, at all

[JA]

Only one of those questions pertains to the actual application of the First Amendment and its content, which was "Does the First Amendment protect hate speech?" On that question, the political divide between Democrats and Republicans is almost statistically insignificant (a mere 5%). I suspect the cause of this stems from ongoing debate concerning whether the First Amendment protects hate speech or not; there are some voices that support the perspective that it shouldn't. So, I suspect there is a confusion over should and does.

The other three questions do not concern themselves with the legal application of the First Amendment, but whether or not college students support an environment conducive to speech from potentially unsavory perspectives and voices. Why should a person such as Milo be allowed, not from a legal perspective, but rather from a social one, to speak freely and spew hate? Yes, it is perfectly acceptable to shout down such speakers and, in certain circumstances, violence may even be acceptable. Fascism should never be tolerated. Although we cannot suppress it legally, we can socially.

Milo is not a hateful person. Find an actual example.

Yeah... I'll stick with my example. Milo is a hateful, trashy little troll.

After they've spent the first 18 years of their life in an institution that declares anything that offends someone to be "bullying", punishes any speech that "promotes drugs", and tells them how to dress, should we really be surprised?

Dude, we get it, you get in trouble a lot at school for bullying others. Give it a rest.

Yes Jedi.  I was on the train a while ago and this 60-something lady with long gray hair knocked over a young guys bike so she could sit down and proceeded to go on a rant about how he didn't have a right and she's a senior citizen and deserves some respect and why doesn't society respect seniors anymore...

Straight from the generation that pioneered disrespect for seniors.  Now that that generation is gone and the boomers are on top, they turn their sniveling faces to the youth.  Truly a sad, pathetic, dangerous, and destructive group of wrinkled up toddlers.

Ugh. Could you people quit bashing "baby boomers" already? Attacking an entire generation of people is pretty absurd; about as absurd as the hatred directed by many towards millennials. The problem isn't a generation of Americans, it's wealth; upper middle and upper class Americans are disproportionately older and White. Baby boomers constitute the vast majority of these socioeconomic classes. The problem isn't baby boomers, it's wealthy people who often have an awful sense of entitlement that they project onto others. There are many lower and working class baby boomers, and their attitudes and behaviors do not align with the stereotypes of their generation. Save your ire for where it belongs: aimed at the upper classes.
