27. No one is preventing his public displays of ignorance.

Which means he is "able" to express himself. He just wants to spout his garbage and not be called on it. Very cowardly.

People do ridicule his ignorance.

People do point out that his prejudice is rooted in his ignorance.

It is not intolerance to tell someone how ill-informed they are or how wrong their 'facts' are or how incredibly stupid they look spouting their ignorance. It isn't polite to tell somehow how stupid they look - but it isn't intolerance. Fact is, no one has to tolerate ignorance that harms others.

Ignorance just means you don't know something - doesn't mean you can't learn.

That you don't learn is on you.

That you refuse to learn makes you stupid.

Clinging to your ignorance because it feels safe makes you pathetic.

Kirk Cameron is stupid and pathetic. (and a coward)
