The fight for liberty on Americas campuses will now be conducted from FIREs new, expanded offices in the historic Curtis Center in Center City Philadelphia. FIREs 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.
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.
