There's a new organization on college campuses these days. It's the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE). Here's their mission statement:
The mission of FIRE is to defend and sustain individual rights at America's increasingly repressive and partisan colleges and universities. These rights include freedom of speech, legal equality, due process, religious liberty, and sanctity of conscience—the essential qualities of individual liberty and dignity. FIRE's core mission is to protect the unprotected and to educate the public and communities of concerned Americans about the threats to these rights on our campuses and about the means to preserve them.
They've been involved in knocking down some of the more egregious speech codes that have sprung up on many college campuses. It'll be interesting to see how they do in the future.
