The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education is an organization that defends the free speech and free thought rights of professors and students alike, regardless of religion, ideology, or the popularity of the opinions under attack. FIRE is to college campuses what the ACLU used to be to society at large.

Greg Lukianoff, FIRE’s president, recently offered me the opportunity to post a message to The Torch, the organization’s blog:

When I came up with the idea to do a documentary about the suppression of speech on college campuses, literally the first phone call I made was to FIRE. That was before I’d ever even picked up a digital video camera, so I really had no business thinking I could make a film. A lot of people seemed to agree.

There’s more over at The Torch.
