The Left hates free speech...

...well, much more than the Right.  Here are the numbers: "Liberal college students dream of a nation without free speech."  "Per the results, students on the right have a 59% tolerance rate for liberal speech (L1, L2, L3). Yet students on the left have only a 21% tolerance for conservative speech (C1, C2, C3)."

Extra - Nate Silver: "Free speech is in trouble."

Ooh, one poll, reflecting just 5% of American citizens (college students).

Another college poll, this one reflecting 78% of American citizens, came out today from AP-NORC.

68% of all adults say that state governments should NOT be able to restrict what professors teach at state universities.

That's 68% total. It would be even higher, except that the number of Republicans who support educational free expression trails behind Democratic support by nearly 20%.


Now let's do book bans. An NPR-Ipsos poll found that 35% of Republicans support state lawmakers removing certain books from schools and libraries.

Democrats? Just 5% support the classic tyrant go-to move.


Your statement, "The Left hates free speech...well, much more than the Right," has a margin of error of you.
