The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is weathering a censorship allegation after deleting a blog post it commissioned from a Tyrell medal-winning Canadian historian. <\/p>\n
To coincide with International Womens Day, the Winnipeg-based museum asked Veronica Strong-Boag, a historian specializing in the history of women and children in Canada, to pen a blog post in her area of expertise. <\/p>\n
The post appeared on March 4, but was removed hours later after museum staff deemed a passage criticizing the federal Conservative government unacceptable. <\/p>\n
The passage in question described the Conservatives as having an \"anti-woman record.\" She said museum staff first asked her to back up that claim, but ultimately rejected a footnoted posting as a partisan statement. <\/p>\n
