Throwing it back to ‘84 with the Dead Kennedys! Their stance against censorship continues to inspire FIRE in our fight for freedom of expression. It’s a constant reminder that free speech is a cause worth pursuing.

Amazing night in Dallas with The Free Press.

Grateful to Cenk Uygur, Sohrab Ahmari, Nick Gillespie, Ann Coulter.

And a huge thank you to FIRE

Friendly reminder: the First Amendment protects public protests, not crashing someone’s backyard dinner party.

It was an absolute joy to speak w/ the legendary John Cleese about the perils of censorship, the purpose of comedy, & highlights from his long & storied career.

UPDATE: @Montclairstateu has once again reversed course after withdrawing approval last month for a student group’s on-campus “Palestine Lives” fundraiser originally set for March 8.

The event has been rescheduled and free speech has triumphed over viewpoint discrimination!

Should unfunny people censor comedy?

Monty Python legend John Cleese answers that and more in an exclusive conversation with FIRE's Greg Lukianoff on comedy and cancel culture. 🍿🔥

Peaceful protest on public campuses is protected speech. Disruptive protest and trespassing on private property is not.

The First Amendment doesn’t protect seriously disrupting events on public college campuses, much less at someone’s backyard dinner party.

It's been a disappointing year for free speech and academic freedom at my alma mater, IU Bloomington.

No, you do not have the First Amendment right to give a speech on someone else's private property after you've been asked to leave by the property owners.

Scotland’s new hate speech law is something Dolores Umbridge would have enforced at Hogwarts.

Right, J.K. Rowling?
