This week

Exams are coming and we're all busy - this is the roundup of the final issues of most papers for the semester. After this week, I will only be blogging stuff that is brought to my attention at aliza[at]cfjs.ca.

For anyone in New Brunswick, a link to an article about an activist student union who is campaigning for political debate on campus. (It's a PDF, scroll to the bottom of Page 1.)

At Concordia - awesome article in the Link:

Why do Jews seem to be the most vocal advocates of free speech for everyone on campus? It is because Jewish students are the only ones denied the right to express their position with all the academic means they desire. This is not because we are violent, but because our opponents are violent. Why are we penalized because our ideological opponents are violent? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Elmasry is mentioned in a free speech article from the Eyeopener at Ryerson.

At York, the Noble issue blew up into a free speech rally, with press releases being exchanged and editorials being written.

As for the document, the simple truth is that David Noble has no logical evidence whatsoever to support any of his claims. If you want to claim that there is corporate influence at the foundation or Board, do so, and you would probably be right. However, this asinine document is nothing more than trash, and any time you feel like debating that, look me up. I would be more than happy to educate you.
