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.

Compared with people we surveyed in dozens of nations, Americans as a whole are less likely to favor the government being able to prevent speech of any kind.

There's a few good ones around.

Fuck Millennials.

I'm in favor of completely free speech. I really don't care what people have to say, how offensive it may be to me. Threatening, well, that's a matter of perception too. In most cases. So yea, say what you want so long as you leave other people alone.

Yeah. Now go look at the numbers that Bernie Sanders brings to his rallies and then compare them to Ron Paul's.

I do not have much hope left.

Don't lose hope, Rand is doing great. Over the past few days hes surging, from 4% to about 4.2%

What makes you all want to share sentiments like this?

Are polls with high margins of error all of a sudden valid if they support your cynicism?

Millennials don't get their news from 'The Blaze', on that we can be proud and hopeful.
