FIRE provided the experience of unhindered political and philosophical debate on a broad array of topics among individuals with diverse opinions and ideologies. This became a uniquely inspirational environment as the open discussions pushed me to reevaluate my opinions in order to thoroughly explain and, at times, defend or even recant them. The FIRE internship program is truly an object lesson on the value of our first amendment rights.

A short time at FIRE is enough to convince virtually anyone that our First Amendment rights are, both legally and philosophically, an indispensable component of American society. Working environments such as the one at FIRE are rare gems which stimulate intellectual development and model the kind of free-thinking milieu they hope to restore throughout academe.
