Description:
FIRE's Third Annual "Freedom In Academia" Essay Contest is now
accepting submissions! Eligible students — high school seniors
graduating in the coming academic year — are invited to watch two
great FIRE videos (Political Correctness vs. Freedom of Thought - The
Keith John Sampson Story and Think What We Think...Or Else: Thought
Control on the American Campus) and write an essay explaining how the
featured universities betrayed their purpose as a "marketplace of
ideas" and violated the First Amendment freedoms of their students.

scholarships.
