PETA Applauds FIRE
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals’s website peta2.com is currently lauding yesterday’s FIRE victory for free speech at Seminole Community College. As you hopefully heard, a FIRE press release restored student animal-rights activist Eliana Campus to her rights within less than seven hours. PETA gives credit where credit’s due:
Through correspondence with the school and FIRE’s news release and action alert, the school agreed to respect Eliana’s civil liberties and allow her to table and distribute peta2 literature.
And at the end of the article, Eliana gives good advice to campus activists who are censored: tell FIRE.
