The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education has just announced another victory for campus liberty, this time at Appalachian State University in North Carolina. Under pressure from FIRE and the John William Pope Center for Higher Education Policy, the university repealed an absurd policy that had banned all “insults, taunts, or challenges directed toward another person.”

This is good news for free speech, but FIRE is quick to remind us that there are yet miles to go before we sleep. Appalachian State still has a glut of other speech-restrictive policies on the books, and so do most of the other public schools in the state. Of the 16 schools in the UNC system, FIRE reports that 13 of them are saddled with speech codes. And that’s just a small slice of the national problem, which we are still only in the early stages of fighting.
