Latest FIRE Video Draws 27,000 Viewers, Coverage From ‘Boing Boing’
In case you missed it, last week FIRE released a new video documenting the case of Isaac Rosenbloom, a student at Hinds Community College in Mississippi who was effectively expelled in 2010 for complaining to a fellow student after his Oral Communications class that a grade was "going to fuck up [his] entire GPA." In the five days since our video was released, it has drawn 27,000 viewers and coverage on the popular group blog Boing Boing. If you haven't watched the video yet, head over to Boing Boing, where you can watch the video and join in the active conversation about Rosenbloom's case, which now has nearly 200 comments.
