Are high schools teaching students to devalue free speech?
Posted on March 22, 2018 by Lata Nott

It seems like every few months we’re treated to the results of a new survey that has something dismaying to report about how young people approach free speech. Last fall, the Brookings Institute reported that college students have a number of misconceptions about how the First Amendment works — a significant percentage believes that it doesn’t protect hate speech, and that it requires that an offensive speaker at a public university be matched with another speaker with an opposing view. Last week, a survey conducted by Gallup and the Knight Foundation found that 37 percent of college students think that shouting down an offensive campus speaker is acceptable; even more troubling, another 10 percent said that violence is also an acceptable tactic for silencing an offensive speaker.

I think it's way beyond that. They are propagandized with almost cult-like indoctrination. When they scream 'hate speech' they are really screaming 'heresy' against their rigid worldview.

They seem to demand total groupthink obedience to their doctrines, not just a simple devaluing of something actually hateful or racist. You could say taxes are too high and that would be hate speech, even though nothing hateful toward anyone was said.
