Yale fail: Ivy leaguers sign ‘petition’ to repeal First Amendment
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 nations 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 theyd 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 its really awesome that youre 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.
