Filmmaker Asks Yale Students to Repeal First Amendment
10 years ago
General
When misguided public opinion honors what is despicable and despises what is honorable, punishes virtue and rewards vice, encourages what is harmful and discourages what is useful, applauds falsehood and smothers truth under indifference or insult, a nation turns its back on progress and can be restored only by the terrible lessons of catastrophe. – Frederic Bastiat
Filmmaker Asks Yale Students to Repeal First Amendment — Watch Their ‘Unbelievable’ Responses
Several Yale University students were captured on camera by a documentary filmmaker happily signing a petition aimed at repeating the First Amendment.
The video shows media personality Ami Horowitz ask students on the Ivy League campus if they would willingly sign his anti-free speech petition.
“I think this is fantastic and I absolutely agree,” one student replied.
“Excellent,” echoed another.
“I totally agree with where you are at,” yet another said.
Horowitz said that in under an hour he was able to collect over 50 signatures from the Yale community. He told Fox News the reactions from students were an “unbelievable display of total stupidity.”
The petition from Horowitz comes amid a national debate over free speech and the idea of “safe spaces” on college campuses.
Hate speech opposition is the Trojan horse inside which autocracy hides.

*checks ammo stash*
Im good.
Watching the video, I can't see his lips at any point where he mentions the 1st ammendment to people. His face is obscured both times, although he does mention changing the constitution to 2 people - but no mention of which part in those clips.
It could be another Brass Eye editing job.
