40% of Millennials OK with limiting speech offensive to minorities

American Millennials are far more likely than older generations to say the government should be able to prevent people from saying offensive statements about minority groups, according to a new analysis of Pew Research Center survey data on free speech and media across the globe.

We asked whether people believe that citizens should be able to make public statements that are offensive to minority groups, or whether the government should be able to prevent people from saying these things. Four-in-ten Millennials say the government should be able to prevent people publicly making statements that are offensive to minority groups, while 58% said such speech is OK.

Even though a larger share of Millennials favor allowing offensive speech against minorities, the 40% who oppose it is striking given that only around a quarter of Gen Xers (27%) and Boomers (24%) and roughly one-in-ten Silents (12%) say the government should be able to prevent such speech.

Millennials are a generation that has been sheltered and coddled mixed with extreme sense of entitlement. No losers, all winners. No wonder why America is so screwed up.

Once freedom is taken for granted it is cheapened.
Once freedom is cheapened, it's value is not understood,
Once freedom is not valued, it is likely to be lost...or given away.
