Students Value Free Speech, But Feel Theirs Is Threatened

[antlerman]

We believe in free speech. Except for that one thing, and that other thing. And all that other stuff.

[AW-giri]

Defending "free speech" is not about protecting speech you're comfortable with, but for speech that is uncomfortable or offensive to the majority viewpoints, regardless of your political or cultural background.

Why don’t you ask not just all the political speakers about free speech on US college campuses, but the liberal comedians who won’t even play for the anymore, claiming they student body has turned into mindless robotic “woke” drones?

The only thing about little kids is they can't read so how they gonna speak

[teresasmith]

The only thing about kudos is they don't know how to read

[samhill]

Why dont you ask this site why they censor people.

[LiLesah]

Speech that leads to someone’s death should have consequences

[rachelk]

the storm is here and there is nothing you can do about.

[Noms_Chompsky]

Yeah yeah, I hear all these cancelled people on the news and social media all the time telling me how they can't be heard, sure sure

[korkalba]

I'm amazed democratic students know what free speech is.

Remember the 1995 Dallas, Texas, American Flag burning 🔥 case in front of Dallas City Hall public protest upon the sidewalk demonstration, and the protester finally won in-court based on Freedom Of Speech, when it reached the US Supreme Court in 1995 ?

Students Will Put A 🚫 ⛔ ✋ To This MAGA Madness.

[tonysu]

I am all for responsible free speech, and by responsible,
I draw the line at platforms that deny free speech.

Should advocates of the alt Right that demand the right to deny others the right to speak freely be allowed equal and full standing in a forum of free speech?
Facism which is the restriction of thought and the support of only their own beliefs should be viewed as dangerous and antithetical to American principles enshrined in our Declaration of Independence, Constitution and other documents written by our Founding Fathers to be the basis of this American Experiment.

Yes.
Call facism and other alt right ideology what it is.
Unamerican.
Antithetical and destructive to Americanism and free speech.

As they should be especially in republican lead Texas!!

If a waiter or waitress is waring a Mask I make it a POINT NOT TO TIP them at the end of my meal. Sometimes I will not even pay for the meal and walk out disgusted

[lichin]

When playing chess do you freely speak about your next move?

[davidellis]

Freedom Of Speech - Doesn't Include Attempting A Coup Trumpers.

[rexology]

I’m confused. So more then half of students agree on restricting racial slurs….but are totally fine with confederate flags in campuses. So do they really care about racism or are they just saying that?

[haadbajwa]

Free speech has consequences so think before u speak. Don't be a bait for the " CONSENSUS PROPAGANDA" Public service message to help the generation next.
