FIRE MOVES TO EXPANDED OFFICES

The Curtis CenterThe fight for liberty on America’s campuses will now be conducted from FIRE’s new, expanded offices in the historic Curtis Center in Center City Philadelphia. FIRE’s new headquarters are 50 percent larger than its old space at 210 West Washington Square and overlook both Independence Hall and Washington Square. The offices give FIRE room to grow and to conduct an expanded internship program. Although much of the last two weeks has been consumed with move preparations and with the actual move itself, FIRE is now up and running in its new space and ready to combat censorship and repression during the upcoming school year.

RECENT MEDIA COVERAGE

The current campus definition of tolerance inverts the more traditional meaning and demands personal acceptance. Tolerance becomes the active celebration of "diversity" and toleration requires the suppression of the speech, views or peaceful behavior that supposedly hinder diversity by making "diverse others" uncomfortable.
