FIRE Mentioned in ‘Mallard Fillmore’
Yesterday’s ‘Mallard Fillmore’ cartoon poked fun at Columbia’s recent suppression of free speech on its campus, especially regarding the school’s reaction to the violent student-led protest to a guest speaker earlier this month. The cartoon points viewers to FIRE’s website for more information on Columbia’s take on free speech, which is available here.
Loyal Torch readers know that FIRE has been featured several times in the popular cartoon, created by Bruce Tinsley. Thanks, Bruce—we really appreciate your help drawing attention to the fight for students’ rights.
