FIRE - FIRE Launches New Journal, ‘The Lantern,’ on Anniversary of University of Delaware Thought Reform Case: "FIRE is proud to announce the forthcoming debut of The Lantern: The Journal of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, FIRE's newest publication. The first issue of The Lantern will feature a comprehensive article on the indoctrination program implemented in 2007 by the University of Delaware's Office of Residence Life, which used mandatory activities to coerce students to change their thoughts, values, attitudes, beliefs, and habits to conform to a highly specified social, environmental, and political agenda. The article explains the program's invasive thought-reform activities, the horrified reactions of students and the press, and FIRE's response one year ago this week."

The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education has taken on numerous universities and colleges where freedom of expression and belief were under attack. If the public really understood what goes on in academia they would be outraged, but most of what happens in academia stays in academia.
