It’s that time of year again - time for the first spring showers, a forecasting groundhog, flowers and chocolates, king cake, and an annual skewering of America’s worst censors. Each year, FIRE names and shames the worst-of-the-worst silencers, bowdlerizers, and steamrollers of free speech.
This year, we’ve included five free speech villains whose chilling misdeeds happened off of college campuses. The list below includes people guilty of many forms of censorship including raiding a small-town newspaper, punishing a middle schooler for wearing eye black at a football game, canceling students and professors for their views on the Israel-Hamas war, and retroactively censoring famous authors without their consent. The 13th annual Lifetime Censorship Award went to Harvard University, a university as censorial as it is famous.
The 10 Worst Censors, in alphabetical order, are:
•Book censors
•California Community Colleges
•Florida state officials
•Hypocritical university admins
•The Marion County Police Dept.
•The Mayo Clinic College of Medical Science
•Muirlands Middle School
