FIRE Discussing Hamline Case on the Radio This Afternoon
FIRE Vice President Robert Shibley will be on Vicki McKenna’s Madison, Wisconsin, radio show this afternoon at 4 p.m. ET to discuss our case at Hamline University, where a student was suspended and sentenced to mandatory psychological evaluations after advocating the use of concealed weapons on campus in the context of the Virginia Tech shootings. To hear more about FIRE’s involvement in this interesting case—in which Hamline has trampled the student’s free speech and due process rights and refuses to reconsider its decision—listen online at wiba.com.
