Greg Introduces FIRE's New 'Scootergate!' Video on 'Huffington Post'
FIRE President Greg Lukianoff writes in The Huffington Post today about the significance of free speech in light of the recent debates over "hate speech" following the tragic shootings in Arizona. Greg emphasizes how granting the power to censor often leads those in authority to censor any criticism of themselves, and points to the case of University of Georgia student Jacob Lovell, whose experiences are profiled in our newest video, "Scootergate."
