Colorado College Still Swarmed by Media

by

FIRE

April 3, 2008

The case at Colorado College, where two students were found guilty of "violence" for parodying a flyer, has generated even more media coverage since yesterday. Last night, KRDO News Channel 13, the ABC affiliate in Colorado Springs, ran a story on the case during the 10 o'clock news. Adam Kissel, FIRE's director of the Individual Rights Defense Program, was interviewed over the phone for that story and student Chris Robinson was interviewed for one on FOX 21.

On the Internet, the blogs have been buzzing as well, with coverage from Instapundit, the Independent Women's Forum, Men's Activism, Students for Academic Freedom, and the National Review Online.
