'Firefly' Case in FIRENews
This morning we reported that University of Wisconsin–Stout (UWS) professor James Miller has been censored twice, reported to the university's "threat assessment team," and threatened with criminal charges because of satirical postings outside his office door. The first poster depicted a quotation from actor Nathan Fillion's character in the television series Firefly. After taking it down, the UWS Chief of Police threatened Miller with with criminal charges for disorderly conduct if he posted similar content in the future. After UWS censored his second poster, which stated, "Warning: Fascism," Miller came to FIREfor help.
Because of the absurdity of this censorship, the Web wires have erupted. Below are a few of the places you can view media coverage of this case:
- Nathan Fillion, star of Firefly, on Twitter and
- Adam Baldwin, Fillion's co-star on Firefly, on Twitter and
In large part thanks to all this media exposure, more than 200 supporters have already written to UWS Chancellor Charles Sorensen, demanding that he respect free speech at UWS. If you want to add your voice to theirs, you can do so .
