How would the Constitution read if it was written by men more mindful of microaggressions and safe spaces than individual liberty?

Thankfully, we’ll never have to know. But the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) imagined it that way in a new video animation featuring cartoon renderings of the Founding Fathers wrestling with writing a non-offensive version of the Amendments.

As FIRE notes, college administrators write speech codes in order to prohibit speech deemed biased or disrespectful, including “inappropriately directed laughter.” Anyone wishing to engage in “questionable” speech is directed to designated “free speech zones,” as long as the content has been approved beforehand.

It’s also noted that the University of California System has deemed tropes such as “America is a melting pot” or “America is the land of opportunity” as microaggressions that shouldn’t be used, lest it trigger an innocent bystander’s feelings.

FIRE’s video, “What If Our Constitution Were Written Like Campus Speech Codes?,” is explained below:

This video illustrates our Founding Fathers deciding what speech should and should not be allowed in America—using the same logic administrators use when writing campus speech codes.

American universities are no longer marketplaces of ideas but designated “safe spaces” to protect from any thought contrary to progressive opinions. If an invited guest even leans a little to the right, they are disinvited. Most conservatives aren’t even invited at all.

It’s hard to imagine an America founded on these principles. Unfortunately, it’s the direction we’re headed and we better do something about it now before we lose our liberty forever.
