Abstract: 

The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) continues to trumpet victories over colleges and universities on freedom of speech issues. The question I pose in this issue is why are we making this so easy for them? Since its inception, FIRE has painted universities as thought-police who are heavy-handedly imposing the politically correct views of administrators on timid students. Although this has been true for only a small minority of campuses, it makes for good grist for the media, and FIRE has created the perception that speech codes are the norm. They are not. Here are some tips to enhance your campus “FIRE” safety.
