A Bad Idea. An Awful Idea.

Anyone, and I mean anyone worth their mind, body and soul, who would support such an affront to intellectual liberty is well, a small-minded individual. And I mean small in every sense of the word.

Some band of employment students called the Canadian Union of Public Employees at York University want to ban Israeli academics from coming to speak on Canadian school campuses.

What more proof do we need to know how socially and mentally regressive unions can be?

Where to begin to dismantle this insane idiocy? Where?

So. It's alright for Hamas to stockpile weapons in schools and hospitals? It's ok for Hamas to attack universities in Israel - the only country in the whole damn region with seven respected universities attended by Arabs and Jews alike? What if an Israeli scholar discovers something in, say, physics? Canada will be kept out of the loop because of these people? What if the scholar is Arab but works and lives in Israel?

I'd sure love to hear more about how they plan to make a difference with such an idea.

The perception we have here is warped and polarized.

How can censoring and banning possibly be productive?

They may not respect liberty but I do.
