16% of Yale students are outright fascists, support restrictions on speech

The good news, however, is that “just 5 percent of Yale’s students think, ‘Yale should forbid people from speaking on campus who have controversial views and opinions on issues like politics, race, religion or gender.’”

When will Yale administrators follow through by inviting my colleagues and me to speak on campus? Or is the respect for “intellectual diversity” not supported by Yale’s far-left administration?

“POLL: 16 Percent Of Students At Fancypants Yale Are Pretty Much Complete Fascists,” by Eric Owens, Daily Caller, May 4, 2017:

A new survey of students at Yale University shows that 16 percent of the students at Yale favor regulations restricting speech on the fancypants campus. That’s roughly 1 out of every 6 students.

At the same time, an impressive majority of undergraduate students at the Ivy League bastion support robust free speech.

The William F. Buckley, Jr. Program at Yale commissioned the survey, for which McLaughlin & Associates polled 872 Yale undergraduates in late April.

The results of the poll show that 16 percent of Yale’s elite students support “having speech codes to regulate speech for students and faculty” and 72 percent oppose such limitations on speech.

Yale students also support intellectual diversity by wide margins.

Over 80 percent of Yale’s undergrads agree with this statement: “Yale should always do its best to promote intellectual diversity and free speech by allowing a wide range of people with differing views and opinions to speak on campus.”

Just 5 percent of Yale’s students think, “Yale should forbid people from speaking on campus who have controversial views and opinions on issues like politics, race, religion or gender.”

However, this meager 5 percent of students appears to be limiting academic discourse. Over 40 percent of the students at Yale admit they are “not comfortable” expressing their opinions in class on issues ranging from politics to race to gender. Over half of Yale’s students say they feel “intimidated” about voicing their opinions in class.

Students also say the Yale’s faculty is bursting at the seams with political liberalism. Almost 90 percent of Yale’s students classify the faculty as “liberal.” Only 1 percent of students believe the faculty is “conservative.”

“The survey offers some good news about student attitudes toward free speech on Yale’s campus but there is still cause for concern,” Lauren Noble, founder and executive director of the Buckley Program, told The Daily Caller. “While 60 percent of students approve of the job Yale is doing promoting free speech, 66 percent of conservative students disapproved. The Buckley Program encourages university administrators to take steps to improve this situation.”

The ongoing issue of stifled speech at Yale bizarrely erupted in 2015 over statements made by two professors, Nicholas Christakis and Erika Christakis, who served as the directors of a residential college at Yale.

Erika Christakis had sent out an email before Halloween criticizing efforts at the school to censor Halloween costumes. This email sparked a massive backlash and calls for both professors to resign.

In early November 2015, Yale student Jerelyn Luther shrieked at Nicholas Christakis to “be quiet” as he tried to explain his position on tolerating Halloween costumes to a group of students. Luther called Christakis “disgusting” and said he “should not sleep at night.”

Yale should be a “safe space,” Luther said in her tirade. “Who the fuck hired you?” (RELATED: Yale Student Shrieks At Prof For Denying Her A Safe Space)

Luther, who in fact served on a Yale committee which selected Christakis to direct the residential college, frantically moved to delete her online presence after the video went viral. Her LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook pages were deleted.

An investigation by TheDC showed that Luther comes from a relatively privileged background.

Besides the obvious privilege inherent in being able to attend Yale, Luther also hails from the wealthy, low-crime city of Fairfield, Connecticut. Her family home isn’t luxurious but has an appraised value of more than $760,000. Her short (now apparently deleted) profile at The Yale Globalist described her as an avid traveler who wants to visit at least three-fourths of the world’s countries — a hobby that’s hardly available to the impoverished.

A year of tuition, fees and room and board at Yale costs $66,900….

Left/Liberal indoctrination was going on for years while conservatives slept their way . But over the last 27 years its the saudi/qatari/OIC Pro-islamic indoctrination growing funded by petro dollars.

They have bought out / influenced the politicians and media to do what they want.

The only thing that surprises me is the 16%. That number is low compared to other colleges. We are being inundated with these liberals regardless of where they are coming from. They are so desperate to get back in power that they are doing everything to kill off conservatism.

Precisely. We can be grateful here for small mercies. I had expected a 50% figure or higher considering the current political climate.

I have my doubts about this number. When you consider all the professors, etc., the number would probably hit the roof.

And 40% of U.S. millennials also support restricting or banning speech altogether on minority groups that are somehow “offensive” from their view:

The only good thing, is that the precious snowflakes will, within a few years, be paying back large loans, of regretting wasting money on a worthless indoctrination that could have been invested in something worth while. The do tend to make fools of themselves, all the while destroying the reputation of some stogy old educational/mental institutions.

If there is one lesson students should take to heart, it would be “DON’T TAKE OUT A STUDENT LOAN” 🙂

It’s because after illegal Affirmative Action was thrust on the public by socialists in government, colleges, especially ivy leagues, were forced to move away from being bastions of higher learning. They become first, progressive, then leftist indoctrination centers. Their job no longer being to provide career/employment education, but to instill the world’s most harmful ideologies. Now, they exist mostly to create SJWs who hate their God, their country and the white race.

Seriously, 6% control the rest, what is it about the majority kowtowing to the biggest mouths. All you have to do is tell them to shut up, if enough of you do this and take back your place, your life will be changed for the better. Put them in their place, teach them manners, and this also goes for the faculty.

Just because they are supposed to be teaching you doesn’t mean they are right. Always question, don’t accept everything, just be comfortable and self assured, for the right reasons.

Why is it that these “students” (I use the term loosely) feel themselves so oppressed despite having privileges above 99% of the world’s people and 97% of the US people? You’d think they were being dragged off in boxcars to certain “camps”.

Instead? >90% of all people would sell their souls to live as well as do these snowflakes.
