Republican are not promoting violence. Not so with Democrats who are embracing communists and radical Islamists. They are training our children in schools to protest violently against traditional America.

The results paint a dangerous and “sobering picture” of cancel culture on US campuses, according to the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression’s expansive six-year study of almost 300,000 college undergraduates nationwide.
“The atmosphere isn’t just cautious — it’s hostile,” the study’s authors wrote. “Students continue to show low tolerance for controversial speakers, and troublingly, more believe it’s acceptable to shout down a speaker, block access to events, or even resort to violence to silence campus speech than ever before.”
There is less tolerance for pro-life speakers, or saying trangenderism is a mental disorder, and permitting people to say Black Lives Matter is a hate group.
Controversial left-wing talking points, including calling the Catholic Church “a pedophilic institution,” describing the police as “just as racist” as the KKK, and saying children “should be able to transition” without parental consent, also saw decreasing tolerance among students between 2024 and 2025.
Meanwhile, the percentage of students who supported disruptive or even violent tactics to suppress controversial speakers rose between 2021 and 2025.
An astonishing 34% of students nationally believe violence is acceptable to stop a campus speech, up from 20% in 2022.
More than half of students, or 54%, support blocking others from attending a campus speech, while almost three-quarters, 71%, call for shouting down a speaker they don’t like.
The top 10 most intolerant campuses were predominantly in one state: Massachusetts, the survey added.

UW professors are quietly admitting they may have taught students that shouting down speakers, and even violence, is acceptable. 41% of UW students say violence can be justified to stop speech. One professor’s answer: those views are promoted by some faculty. Is anyone surprised? pic.twitter.com/oKYRw16iwA
