Greg it is sad that FIRE receives less money and attention than Charlie kirk/Hasan piker, but everyone involved seems very passionate and you all try hard to have a broader appeal and work really hard to push your message to as many people as possible, so i just share my (our) appreciation and hope you all stay motivated. You guys rock!

I appreciate that you’re standing up for colleges even though some of them have their own poor track record on free speech. I think that’s an important issue—the power of the institution or organization trying to stifle speech matters, no? Sure, criticize a student group for attempting to cancel a speaker, that’s fair. But don’t tell me that has the same weight as the federal government clamping down on what a university is allowed to teach. It seems like some free speech activists don’t see any distinction at all, though.
