‘Campus Freedom Index’ gives free speech a failing grade at Canadian universities

Posted: November 2, 2012 at 2:41 am

Students discuss a controversial anti-abortion display at the University of Calgary in 2009. Universities were the birthplace of political correctness and now a right-leaning group says that on most Canadian campuses the trend has eroded free speech.

The Calgary-based Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms issued its 2012 Campus Freedom Index, which surveyed 35 Canadian universities and student unions.

It awarded only three A grades, compared with 28 Fs to 12 universities and 26 student unions for things like cancelling campus appearances of controversial speakers to trying to keep out pro-life groups and banning the expression "Israeli apartheid," the National Post reported.

"Everyone's forced to pay for these universities through tax dollars and the universities get the money in part by claiming to be these centres of free inquiry," justice centre president John Carpay, who co-authored the report, told the Post.

"It's fundamentally dishonest for the university to go to the government and ask for hundreds of millions of dollars on the pretext that they are a centre for free inquiry and then receive the money and turn around and censor unpopular opinions."

The report gives universities an average grade of C for having fairly good policies and principles regarding free speech but said they weren't very good at following them.

Student unions fared worse, scoring an average of D on both policies and actions.

"The index sheds light on the significant role that Canadian student unions play in damaging the free speech climate on campus," the report said.

The report focused on student unions' treatment of pro-life groups, noting 10 denied official certification to pro-life campus clubs based solely on the content of their message and not because of any misconduct, the Post reported.

Free speech wins in 'crippled girl' case

Posted: at 2:41 am

CINCINNATI A Kentucky man committed no crime when he asked groups of people at an event in a public park here if they wanted to laugh at the crippled girl, a Hamilton County jury decided Thursday.

The win for Forest Thomer II, 25, of suburban Cold Spring, Ky., also is a win for free-speech rights, he said.

I think weve taken a negative situation and turned it into a positive situation, Thomer said after Thursdays verdict.

Thomer was doing what he called guerrilla marketing when he went to the May 23 Party in the Park event, hosted by the USA Regional Chamber of Commerce. To promote the comedy career of his friend, Ally Bruener, Thomer walked up to groups of people, pointed at Bruener -- who has muscular dystrophy and uses a wheelchair -- and asked, Do you want to laugh at the crippled girl?

As the people were trying to recover from the seemingly inappropriate question, Bruener wheeled up, told a joke and then announced when and where her next performance would be.

Lori Salzarulo of the USA Regional Chamber of Commerce complained to police about Thomers comments. Police threatened to shock Thomer with a Taser then arrest him.

Cincinnati Police Officer Dan Kreider charged Thomer with disorderly conduct, accusing him of grossly abusive language.

The charge is a crime that could have sent Thomer to jail for up to 30 days and, Thomer insisted, also violated his right to free speech.

After Thomer accused the police of censorship, the city twice changed the charges, finally deciding to try him on a charge of turbulent behavior.

Thomer and his lawyer, Danielle Anderson, believe Salzarulo wanted Thomer thrown out because she feared his kind of humor would ruin the chambers event.

Cosmic Heaven - Lunar Mile (Sandeagle Remix)
Release Date : 2012-06-11 Out Now : http://www.beatport.com [cut from Aly Fila -- Future Sound Of Egypt 238] My name is Filip, I was born 29.07.1991 in Poland, and nowadays I live in small town on nothern Masovia. Music is one of the most important things in my life. When I was 11 years old I have started listening to electronic music. Firstly, it was artists like ATB, Robert Miles, Scooter etc. I had been listening a lot of genres for many years like Hands Up, Hardstyle or Electro. But in years 2007 / 2008 everything was changed. I heard some the best tracks of Trance Music and I fell in love with it. In 2008 I decided to making this style of music on software Fruity Loops Studio, which I use today too. Especially, I love Uplifting Trance, because this style is the most beautiful for me. The most inspirational artists for me are Daniel Kandi, Andy Blueman, Aly Fila, Bjorn Akesson, Arctic Moon, Suncatcher, Activa, Matt Skyer, TrancEye etc. I hope, you will enjoy my work. Original Mix - Uplifting as it should be.Already from the Start you are directly into the Track.Drivin Beats with nice Flow creating Synthwork.This Track goes forward until we reach the Breakdown.Here we got a Break to take a deep Breath until we got the full Power of the Track again. Sandeagle Remix - Known for his Uplifting Sound with a Techy Touch.Delivering here all you can exspect from him.Goin the same Way as the Original but even more powerful and driving.Here we got the full Potential of the Original ...From:DMAXrecordingsViews:350 10ratingsTime:05:34More inMusic
