No surprise here in that more liberals than conservatives are in favor of banning speech they find offensive and find it more difficult to have friendships with someone who has different political views.

It follows that a solid majority (59%) of Americans think people should be allowed to express unpopular opinions in public, even those deeply offensive to others. On the other hand, 40% think government should prevent hate speech.
Despite this, the survey also found Americans willing to censor, regulate, or punish a wide variety of speech and expression they personally find offensive:
51% of staunch liberals say it’s “morally acceptable” to punch Nazis.
53% of Republicans favor stripping U.S. citizenship from people who burn the American flag.
51% of Democrats support a law that requires Americans use transgender people’s preferred gender pronouns.
65% of Republicans say NFL players should be fired if they refuse to stand for the anthem.
58% of Democrats say employers should punish employees for offensive Facebook posts.
47% of Republicans favor bans on building new mosques.

How tolerant of them.

Private business. If owners want to fire them, then so be it.

Companies have standards. Embarrass the company, lose your job.

There's that pesky First Amendment again.

•59% of liberals say it’s hate speech to say transgender people have a mental disorder; only 17% of conservatives agree.
Transgenderism is a mental illness
quote:
•39% of conservatives believe it’s hate speech to say the police are racist; only 17% of liberals agree.
All professions have racists among their number; the police are no different. However, to simply say "the police are racist" is simply stupid.
quote:
•80% of liberals say it’s hateful or offensive to say illegal immigrants should be deported; only 36% of conservatives agree.
You're an illegal immigrant if you're in this country illegally. I'm shocked that 36% of conservatives agree with this nonsense.
quote:
•87% of liberals say it’s hateful or offensive to say women shouldn’t fight in military combat roles, while 47% of conservatives agree.
They shouldn't be in combat.
quote:
•90% of liberals say it’s hateful or offensive to say homosexuality is a sin, while 47% of conservatives agree.
It is a sin, and not only in the Christian Bible. At least Christians don't throw them off of buildings.

Current college and graduate students aren’t much different; only about 7% support forcibly shutting down offensive speakers.
Maybe we're letting a very loud, shrill minority shape our views of the current college experience and millennials?
