Leftist media outlet Axios is seemingly shocked and horrified that conservatives have taken the advice from liberals seriously to “go and build your own” when they objected to censorship on social media, in publishing houses, and generally on the internet.
Vancouver public school officials have placed restrictions on a Catholic students club, requiring its members to have “general discussions” rather than share their faith with fellow students.
A British university professor is under investigation after he called a student walkout, which was staged over a guest speaker’s allegedly racist and transphobic address, “pathetic.”
Professor Tim Luckhurst, who heads Durham University’s South College, made the remark when the students walked out during the controversial speech by right-wing journalist Rod Liddle on Friday. He also reportedly shouted “at South College, we value freedom of speech!”
There is a growing public perception that being offended confers special rights while also imposing obligations on the offending parties. It doesn’t. Or at least it shouldn’t. Nevertheless, perhaps as a consequence of the current educational focus on issues of diversity, inclusion and anti-racism, this warped viewpoint is insinuating itself into higher education and research at a level that is increasingly threatening free speech, academic freedom and with it, scientific progress.
Campus Reform has confirmed that as of Monday, Rittenhouse is no longer enrolled in the ASU Online program, with the university stating that he is “not currently enrolled in any classes at ASU” and still “has not gone through the ASU admissions process.”
British civil servants have apparently embraced their inner Scrooge, vetoing the use of the word ‘Christmas’ from being used in a coronavirus testing drive aimed at students, arguing that the use of the term runs the risk of offending minorities within the country.
We all know that history is not the left’s favorite subject. Many times, it’s just too inconvenient for their political narratives. Often, history has to be erased or submerged in order to achieve the “greater good” of creating a just and moral society.
In truth, it’s not much better on the right, although generally, the conservative take on American history is more nuanced. Christopher Columbus was an ass — a greedy, cruel, ambitious man who didn’t let anyone stand in his way to achieving riches and power, especially native people. But he was courageous enough to cross an unknown ocean in a rickety ship and with a mutinous crew.
The Biden administration is seeking to radically narrow the boundaries of respectable American political thought. The administration has repeatedly issued statements and reports that could automatically castigate citizens who distrust the federal government. We may eventually learn that the new Biden guidelines spurred a vast increase in federal surveillance and other abuses against Americans who were guilty of nothing more than vigorous skepticism.
Two years after he was cancelled, the psychologist spoke at the university
Last night, at Lady Mitchell Hall at Cambridge University, the Canadian psychologist and intellectual Dr Jordan Peterson made an appearance that has been more than two years in the making.
His speech was was preceded by an announcement by two of the university proctors, dressed in full academic robes, that they were “present to uphold freedom of speech.”
The narcissistic arrogance of certain trans activists is staggering
In a move that has proved to be as popular as a holiday in Peterborough, three trans activists rocked up to JK Rowling’s family home last week, strategically posing for a photograph that included her address for all to see.
Claiming to be protesting the writer’s ‘transphobia’, the three posted the photograph on Twitter, clearly hoping for a pile-on.
“GoFundMe’s Terms of Service prohibit raising money for the legal defense of an alleged violent crime. In light of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, we want to clarify when and why we removed certain fundraisers in the past,” the platform wrote on Twitter with a link to a company statement.
Inside the Left’s twisted world of innuendo and unfounded allegations.
The Canadian Anti-Hate Network (CAHN) is Canada’s ironically named version of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPCL), an intolerant organization that can’t stop patting itself on the back for opposing intolerance. Though lacking the formidable political heft, war chest, and extensive reach of its more-robust American cousin, the CAHN exists to rain calumny down upon groups or individuals who do not share its progressivist viewpoints. Never content merely to disagree or rebut, the network pursues its ends almost exclusively through Hall of Shame-style attacks on those it deems “far right” enemies.
Some people have way too much time on their hands.
A British primary school has removed the names of wartime leader Winston Churchill and ‘Harry Potter’ author JK Rowling from two of its houses, in a bid to make the school more “diverse.” Parents are furious.
Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School in Richmond decided in October to rename two of its pupil houses – named after Winston Churchil and J.K. Rowling – in honor of black footballer Marcus Rashford and nurse Mary Seacole, a heroine of the Crimean War who was also black.
Last week, the Toronto District School Board had to issue a clarification after it found itself facing criticism for apparently saying no to two school book club events featuring prominent female authors.
The books in question were by Canadian lawyer Marie Henein and former ISIS captive Nadia Murad. Both books are memoirs and both were supposedly out-of-bounds for impressionable young minds because Henein was Jian Ghomeshi’s lawyer and Murad’s book could serve to foster Islamophobia.
I pity kids who have no choice but to attend a TDSB school, it is a woke shithole.
A professor at the University of Southern California is facing backlash for refusing to remove the pro-police Blue Lives Matter flag outside his office insisting that the message black lives are disproportionately at risk of police violence is a ‘lie.’
James Moore, professor of engineering and policy, has ignored repeated calls to take the flag down from students and administrators who he says live in a ‘progressive bubble.’
