So FIRE is up to its usual stupidity, pretending that "freedom of speech" means "platforming racists who want to suppress the speech of others is good, actually."
An excellent way to lose all credibility as a free speech organization is to invite Ilya Shapiro.
The Manhattan Institute is seeking to criminalize more and more protest. FIRE has invited two prominent Manhattan Institute figures — Ilya Shapiro and Heather Mac Donald — as keynote speakers at their 2026 conference.
