FSU Fights Repeal of Higher Education Freedom of Speech Act

Aug 9, 2024, 08:18 AM

The Free Speech Union (FSU) is actively campaigning against the potential repeal of the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act by the UK government. Bridget Phillipson, Labour's Secretary of State for Education, announced plans in July to halt the commencement of the Act, considering options including its repeal. The FSU is urging the public to pressure Members of Parliament (MPs) to oppose this move and has threatened a judicial review of the Labour Government's decision. The organization is calling for donations to support its legal efforts and encourages individuals to join their cause to protect free speech rights.
