Regarding Middle East Conflicts, FIRE Weighs in on the Side of . . . Free Speech

FIRE’s October 25 announcement:

The government cannot force public colleges to derecognize Students for Justice in Palestine chapters. That’s just what State University System of Florida Chancellor Ray Rodrigues, reportedly at the direction of Gov. Ron DeSantis, is trying to do.

FIRE did not issue this statement because it is taking sides regarding the Middle East conflict. FIRE doesn’t take sides regarding the substance of disputes. What FIRE does with unrelenting consistency is to advocate for free speech for all sides of every dispute.
