hate speeches and universities - letter

Note - The real point is that Univeristy Presidents don't distinquish between speech
which is almost hate speech and are rants against Israel based on slanders and lies, and true criticisms of Israel. The former are not illegal but should be prohibitted and the latter should be permitted. However if the university
administration, faculty and student body cannot tell the difference, there is a problem.

Unpublished letter - The problem is greater than firing bad teachers. It is not only a question of students learning enough facts but also of learning to think and to recognize right from wrong and truth from propaganda.

This is most obvious in our universities. Students at UWO face no punishment for disrupting approved of speeches and presentations, and the President of McMaster cannot distinquish a hate speech against Israel and Zionists, which quotes falsehoods as facts, from a speech about Israel's faults and problems. Students, whether at high school or university, should learn more than facts. They should learn to think - to distinquish between fact and fiction and good and evil. In addition they should be taught that all things are not equal and that our Canadian value system is excellent and worthy of support.

Teachers or professors who are incapable of understanding the above, in addition to their specific subjects, and who teach their students only to be politically correct should be let go as they are truly not doing their job.
