Rather shocking views on free speech by college students, according to a new survey by Brookings.

“..many students have an overly narrow view of the extent of freedom of expression. For example, a very significant percentage of students hold the view that hate speech is unprotected.

And a majority of students appear to want an environment that shields them from being exposed to views they might find offensive.”
