Perhaps children, media outlets and academics alike need a primer on the Bill of Rights, not to mention the rest of the Constitution.

Unpopular speech is exactly what the Bill of Rights is supposed to protect.

It’s not a Bill of Rights. It’s become a Bill of Privileges reserved for the elite. If the little people infringe upon those privileges, the MSM storm troopers label them as being racist, fascist or hateful.

“Students.”

Is there anything they don’t know?

Another reason communism will not win: it depends on miseducation.

Connect the dots:

Reichman also pointed out that the study was funded by the Koch Brothers.

Evil Capitalists™.

a different, more nationally representative survey of American college student opinions on free speech on campus conducted by Gallup found strikingly different results

And the difference?

78% of students said colleges should create an 'open learning environment.'

Of course, students believe free speech damages an 'open learning environment.'

No.....it is the racist component of Black America that is hateful and deserves scorn.

I despise the very premise of the phrase “hate speech”. It’s nothing more than PC jargon.

Since some of our population find the freedoms guaranteed by our Bill of Rights to be offensive, they should be deported to a country they find more agreeable.

in a carefully randomized process

In other words, not random at all.

This is straight from Obama...he stated once that the Bill of Rights was a “negative” document. What he meant was, “it protects citizens’ rights from the government”, therefore limiting his totalitarian ideas.

People had better be glad we have a BOR, or we’d soon be a dictatorship.

"That survey of more than 3,000 college students, who had been selected in a carefully randomized process from a nationally representative group of colleges, had asked students the same question. It found that 78% of students said colleges should create an 'open learning environment.'"

No, that's not the same question at all. It's totally different. While I don't know what "open learning environment" means it certainly is not the same as asking if the 1st Amendment applies to hate speech.
