On Friday, September 5th, in McCosh 28 lecture hall on Princeton’s campus, Robert Corn-Revere presented “From Anthony Comstock to South Park: America and The Culture of Free Expression,” hosted by the Princeton Open Campus Coalition (POCC). Mr. Corn-Revere was affable when caught before or after the lecture, sharing stories about his friendship with comedian/magician Penn Jillette, or the behind-the-scenes stories of working on either side of the FCC’s crusade on obscenity. Mr. Corn-Revere, now chief counsel to the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), has been on the frontlines of free speech battles for four decades as a First Amendment litigator. His good-natured laugh, warm smile, and light-hearted demeanor mask a firebrand when it comes to free expression advocacy, in the spirit of a quote often attributed to Voltaire: “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”
Princetonians for Free Speech (PFS) now has over 16,000 subscribers, a large portion who are undergraduate alumni. The growth in subscribers over the last year has been dramatic, from 1,400 subscribers in December 2024 to over 16,000 today. We have now engaged a powerful and growing segment of the Princeton community.
Our ambitious goal is to reach 20,000 alumni subscribers. A critical mass of voices on policy matters will help us put pressure on the administration to change policy and improve the free speech climate on campus.
