College students at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, were purportedly caught on camera signing their names to a document that said the First Amendment of the US Constitution ought to be repealed.

Ami Horowitz appears in the footage, speaking with students on campus and asking for their signatures.

The students' faces have been blurred out.

'What we're calling for is a petition to repeal the First Amendment,' he tells two students at one point.

A male student tells Horowitz in the video 'I think this is fantastic. I absolutely agree.' He also says 'I think it's really awesome that you're out here'

Fox News, which featured the video on its website, described Horowitz as a 'filmmaker and satirist.'

In voice-over narration, Horowitz explains 'Just as a reminder, the First Amendment protects the freedom of speech, the freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, freedom of the press -- and oh yeah, freedom of petition.'

A male student tells Horowitz in the video 'I think this is fantastic. I absolutely agree.'

'Excellent. Love it,' another woman says in the clip.

In one exchange with a student, Horowitz says ''Cause I think it's a living, breathing document, the Constitution, it was literally not made in stone.

'And the guys who wrote it - they were slave owners.

'What do they know about how we live today?

'So we want to change it.'

Horowitz says in another exchange with a different student: ''Cause you shouldn't be exposed to things you don't want to hear. You know, that's not right.' 'Yeah,' the female student he's speaking with says

Speaking to another student, Horowitz says: 'I appreciate that, because you know what? Microaggressions should not be protected, and making fun of people is not cool. And you know - sucks.' 'I agree,' the student says

'I agree,' the student says. 'Thank you for doing this.'

'Interesting,' one man says in the clip. 'Good for you, that's great'

At the end of the video, white words over a black background claim: 'In under 60 minutes on campus, I collected over 50 signatures from the Yale University community calling for the repeal of the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.'

Fox61 noted 'Many of the students whose responses were cherry-picked think freedom of speech should be repealed, and they even sign a petition that they believe will make that happen.

'Some are more enthusiastic about the issue than others.'

Horowitz told Fox News: 'I decided to take this campus free speech debate to its logical conclusion.'
