Foundation for Individual Rights in Education

I just discovered the existence of FIRE, which defends assaults on free speech at colleges and universities, whether those assaults come from left or right. I’ve been increasingly concerned in recent years about the lack of strong, nonpartisan voices defending free speech on campus. FIRE seems like a terrific group and I’ve donated to them; perhaps you might want to consider a donation as well 🙂

FIRE’s mission is to defend and sustain the individual rights of students and faculty members at America’s colleges and universities. These rights include freedom of speech, freedom of association, due process, legal equality, religious liberty, and sanctity of conscience—the essential qualities of liberty. FIRE educates students, faculty, alumni, trustees, and the public about the threats to these rights on our campuses, and provides the means to preserve them.
