Four ‘Mallard Fillmores’
In a landmark week for FIRE’s cultural resonance, the Mallard Fillmore comic featured four strips on campus speech codes. Two of these strips mentioned FIRE’s Guide to Free Speech on Campus. In an obvious response to these strips, we have seen a spike in Guide orders, and more than 1,000 people downloaded copies of the Guide in the first three days of this week alone. Thank you, Bruce Tinsley!
