Trigger warning! This story and video may be unsuitable viewing for the “safe space” crowd.

Looking to understand just how controversial the debate over free speech on our college campuses really is, filmmaker and satirist Ami Horowitz recently traveled to Yale University, one of our nation’s most prestigious institutions of higher learning, to speak directly to students.

“I decided to take this campus free speech debate to its logical conclusion,” said Horowitz, who asked students if they’d sign a petition calling for an outright repeal of the First Amendment. “The result was this unbelievable display of total stupidity.”

In fact, Horowitz discovered a solid majority of the students asked willingly signed the petition, with several expressing their enthusiastic approval for his anti-First Amendment efforts.

“I think it’s really awesome that you’re out here,” said one student.

Watch the video to find out just how many supported the petition, and how willing many students were to sign away their more basic rights of free speech and expression.

apparently in less than an hour, Ari gathered 50 signatures on the Yale campus for his fake petition

so Ivy League students, eh?

IT CAN'T BE BARGAINED WITH.
IT CAN'T BE REASONED WITH.
IT DOESN'T FEEL PITY, OR REMORSE, OR FEAR.
AND IT ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT STOP, EVER, UNTIL YOU ADMIT YOU'RE WRONG ABOUT WARHAMMER

What is it with news websites and videos these days? I don't want to watch a lovely loving video, tell me what the petition said and give me some quotes of why students said they supported it.

These goddamned idiot have me agreeing with Fox news about something. I wish Noam Chomsky would stop by and bitch slap them. OTOH, Herbert Marcuse is looking on from the spirit world and cheering the Yale protesters on. Repressive tolerance seems to have finally found an audience.

I mean, it's an amendment. How important can it be?


Also, petition is invalid since if you repeal the first amendment, you can't petition.

I remember my freshman year. Some lunatic killed a dog by dragged it behind his truck, the next day the resident SJW was out with a petition she did up in like 30 minutes in excel.

It was titled "Petition for Animal Abuse".

I signed it.

I seriously see people complain about unformatted walls of text with a post that's literally a single paragraph with a couple of sentences. Its like people have gotten used to how many words they can see on their cellphone screen at a given time and think anything past that is longwinded.

Sorry completely wrong thread for this i just thought gbs was a hilarious place to bring up millennial attention spans.
