The majority of college students favor banning speakers who use "hate speech", with a third justifying the use of violence to prevent such rhetoric from happening, a new survey has found. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) argues so-called “hate speech” is inherently subjective and impossible to define, leading to many problems on campuses. “There is no consensus as to what qualifies as ‘hate speech,’ leading to vaguely-worded speech codes that can be applied to virtually all forms of political expression protected under First Amendment standards,” Zach Greenberg, FIRE’s Individual Rights Defense Program officer, told Fox News. It’s a growing trend on campus, according to Charlie Kirk, the founder and president of Turning Point USA, an organization that mobilizes conservative college students on campus to defend their ideas and has seen significant pushback. “College campuses are not safe for conservatives or Trump-supporting students," Kirk told Fox News.
