CMU Students Build Their Own Free Speech Fence

Carnegie Mellon students literally rolled out a new fence at midnight after the school shut down their iconic free speech spot. Armed with paint, pickaxes, and a spreadsheet of historic slogans, they recreated decades of campus activism—right in front of the president’s office. The original Fence got reopened hours later, but students say trust is broken and free speech still feels shaky. Would you go this far to keep your campus traditions alive? #Education #College #FreeSpeech
