Sadly, Penn has long been a fount of politically correct buffoonery - but one positive development to come out of it all has been FIRE, which, as you probably know, was started by Penn professor Alan Charles Kors, who was the faculty member who stood in defense of the young man accused in the “water buffalo” incident - concerned about the rising abuse of freedom of speech on campuses, he and Harvey Silverglate of Princeton organized the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education - Fire is now headquartered in downtown Philadelphia, and handles complaints of violations of students’ rights all over the country. I happily donate money I would otherwise be giving to alma mater Penn to FIRE and NAS - the National Association of Scholars - which stands up for teachers’ rights to free speech on campuses. Nicely ironic I think.
Yes, when my close friend’s kid went to college last year, I gave him some handbooks from FIRE. It’s a wonderful organization.
