Majority of College Students Favor Campus Speech Codes to Regulate Politically Incorrect Opinions

Just more proof that the left is becoming a real and threatening totalitarian movement in America.

At the Wall Street Journal, "Notable & Quotable: Unfree Speech on Campus":

To put some numbers behind that perception, The William F. Buckley Jr. Program at Yale recently commissioned a survey from McLaughlin & Associates about attitudes towards free speech on campus. Some 800 students at a variety of colleges across the country were surveyed. The results, though not surprising, are nevertheless alarming. By a margin of 51 percent to 36 percent, students favor their school having speech codes to regulate speech for students and faculty. Sixty-three percent favor requiring professors to employ “trigger warnings” to alert students to material that might be discomfiting. One-third of the students polled could not identify the First Amendment as the part of the Constitution that dealt with free speech. Thirty-five percent said that the First Amendment does not protect “hate speech,” while 30 percent of self-identified liberal students say the First Amendment is outdated. With the assault on free speech and the First Amendment proceeding apace in institutions once dedicated to robust intellectual debate, it is no wonder that there are more and more calls to criminalize speech that dissents from the party line on any number of issues, from climate change to race relations, to feminism and sex.

Wesleyan Student Government Slashes Budget for College Newspaper in 'Black Lives Matter' Controversy

Typical hateful leftists.

At the Hartford Courant, "Wesleyan Student Government, Dissatisfied With Campus Newspaper, Cuts Funding In Half."

And here's the so-called "controversial" op-ed, which wasn't very controversial. Indeed, the author, Bryan Stascavage, bent over backwards to be evenhanded. See, "Why Black Lives Matter Isn’t What You Think."

I saw this story weeks ago, at Legal Insurrection, "Attempt to defund Wesleyan Univ student paper for criticizing #BlackLivesMatter."

Donald Trump Crushing GOP Field in New Washington Post/ABC News Poll (VIDEO)

At WaPo, "Trump maintains lead in GOP presidential race; Carson second."

And at ABC News, "Donald Trump Leads in Expectations, Shows Strength on Attributes (POLL)":

Donald Trump leads the Republican presidential field in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll, not only in vote preferences but in expectations as well -– a remarkable feat for the non-politician who’s surprised the GOP establishment with his staying power as well as his support.

Trump has leveled off with backing from 32 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who are registered to vote, easily enough to retain his frontrunner status. Fellow outsider Ben Carson follows with 22 percent, also flat this month after sharp summertime gains.

Notably, even more leaned Republicans -- 42 percent -- say they expect Trump to win the GOP nomination for president. And given a list of six potential nominees, 43 percent pick Trump as having the best chance to win the general election just more than a year from now.

Trump also fares well on many key attributes. Nearly half of leaned Republicans -- 47 percent -- view him as the strongest leader; 39 percent think he'd be best able to handle immigration; 32 percent feel he is closest to them on the issues; and 29 percent say he “best understands the problems of people like you.” In each case he leads the other top-five contenders for the nomination, Carson, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz and Carly Fiorina.

Trump has weaknesses nonetheless. More view Carson as the most honest and trustworthy (33 percent vs. 21 percent for Trump), and Trump trails Bush in having the best experience (31 vs. 23 percent). While 19 percent say Trump has the best personality and temperament to serve effectively as president, that compares with a similar 24 percent for Carson....

In addition to his appeal to anti-immigration Republicans, Trump’s candidacy is very much bolstered by desire in the party for a political outsider. Republicans and Republican-leaning independents by 57-39 percent say they’re looking for someone from outside the political establishment rather than someone with political experience – drastically different from the 21-76 percent division on this issue among leaned Democrats. And Trump wins 41 percent support from registered leaned Republicans looking for an outsider, vs. 18 percent from those who prefer political experience.

Poll: Forty-Nine Percent of Democrats Have Favorable View of Socialism

And that's not all: Just 14 percent of Democrats "consider themselves to be capitalists."

Call it the Bernie Sanders effect.

And following the links takes us to the YouGov poll, "Debate recap: Most Americans agree with Bernie about Hillary’s emails."
