Some will argue that Rümeysa Öztürk has no free speech rights the government is bound to respect.
On the contrary, the whole premise of America is that certain rights are "unalienable" and that we establish governments to preserve these rights.

Ron Paul asked me about my path to becoming a free speech advocate.
It began when my 5th grade class performed the Trial of John Peter Zenger.
And continued through college, when Douglas Wilson taught me an important lesson about the search for truth.

Yes, FIRE spent a lot of time defending the rights of conservatives on campus these past 10 years.
But the enemy of free speech isn’t necessarily partisanship, it’s power.
And in recent months, the boot has been on the other foot.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
The tactics we use against our opponents today will be used against us when power changes hands.
I'll shout it from the rooftops. I'll shout it on CNN. I'll shout it into the void if nobody will listen — because it's true.
