It’s no secret that today’s universities aren’t exactly bastions of free expression. Speech codes and other violations of students’ rights have become the norm on college campuses everywhere, and students’ attempts to exercise their rights are repeatedly crushed. As our dear friend Dr. Steve Horwitz said, “The best argument for why free speech walls are necessary is that they keep getting torn down.”

SFL is here to help fight this trend and restore students’ rights on campus with our Free Speech Kits for this spring! These kits will provide some basic materials on Free Speech to assist your group in tabling, promoting your event or simply getting the word out about the cause of free speech. Kits include:

• Pocket Constitutions from The Cato Institute
• FIRE Guide to Free Speech on Campus
  
• “Censor THIS” sticky notes from SFL
• Flyers
• Buttons
• Stickers
• Sign-up sheets
• Other assorted resources

Looking for resources to kick off your club’s spring recruitment? Do you have a table on campus, but need books, swag, and materials to hand out? Look no further! Spring 2013 Tabling Kit Requests are now open!

We realize that students are a diverse group, and something that attracts one type of person to liberty may not appeal to another type, which is why we provide resources from a large assortment of pro-liberty organizations within the liberty movement. Many of these resources are made available by generous donations from our partner organizations including Young Americans for Liberty, Reason, The Cato Institute, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education and the Foundation for Economic Education.

In early September, something I had been waiting for finally happened. The residential housing staff of my girlfriend’s dormitory enforced an arbitrary and seemingly non-existent rule suppressing freedom of speech on Ohio University’s campus. Jilly had placed a flyer on her dorm room door highlighting the similarities between Governor Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama’s platform for presidency. The staff took this as a “political election” flyer and deemed that it could not be posted until within 14 days before the election and with prior approval from the residential director. (more…)
