CRUSHING OF DISSENT BLOCKED IN BROOKLYN:

In a swift and crucial victory for freedom of speech and academic freedom, Brooklyn College has affirmed that prominent professor KC Johnson will not be subjected to an unconstitutional inquisition into his views. The college surrendered mere days after the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) came to Johnson’s public defense.

As it should have, though it would have been better not to have needed FIRE at all.
