Temple University Case on CPNLive
I was on Talk to Solomon on CPNlive.com last night discussing FIRE's case at Temple University, which charged an unconstitutional security fee to a student organization for an appearance by controversial Dutch legislator Geert Wilders. The discussion also covered FIRE's work more generally, including a discussion of FIRE's case at Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), which once found a student-employee guilty of racial harassment because of the cover of a book he was reading. (Click here for our video on the IUPUI case: Political Correctness vs. Freedom of Thought—The Keith John Sampson Story.)
