I\u2019ve got to hand it to FIRE \u2014 they\u2019ve earned my respect. When the ACLU abandoned free speech and went full-on Marxist activist organization, FIRE stepped up and carried the torch for the First Amendment.<\/p>\n

They do outstanding work defending free expression on college campuses, even when it\u2019s unpopular. Sure, sometimes they go a little too far protecting professors who openly romanticize violent revolution \u2014 but at least they\u2019re consistent. I\u2019ll take a free speech absolutist any day over the self-righteous censors who want to punish anyone who dares to think independently.<\/p>\n

But some people, including FIRE\u2019s executive VP Nico Perrino, are not supportive of a decision by the State Department\u2019s to revoke visas for foreigners who celebrated the brutal murder of Charlie Kirk, an American who used his free speech rights to speak his mind.<\/p>\n

Perrino argues that pulling their visas amounts to an attack on free speech. I see it differently \u2014 I call it basic national hygiene. These aren\u2019t citizens entitled to constitutional protections; they\u2019re guests in our country who openly glorified a political assassination against an American citizen.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s be clear about what\u2019s happening: the State Department is expelling individuals who cheered a political assassination on U.S. soil. Nobody\u2019s arguing that such behavior should be \u201csocially acceptable.\u201d The only debate is over what consequences should apply \u2014 and in my view, kicking them out is the bare minimum.<\/p>\n
