Some poor professor at Acadia University has been fired for stating the obvious. He claimed multiculturalism was a scam, that there really wasn't a gender wage gap and that the Truth and Reconciliation Commission was basically a vehicle for endless compensation and apologies.
By the way, Rick Mehta is correct on all of the above, in my opinion. He also stated that it was..."statistically impossible for all native children to have had a negative experience in residential schools." Yes, true. And when you look at all the successful natives, the majority were educated at residential schools (boarding schools, as I call them) or they would not have been educated at all. Those are just the simple facts; all the weeping and wailing is a scam to soak more money out of the beleaguered taxpayer.
And speaking of soaking taxpayers, we are now going to hand over $100 million to a northern native reserve to build a new health centre. Really?? Was the old one trashed? Natives need to get off the reserves and integrate into mainstream society..........but you know how I feel about that mess, so I won't go on.
The head of professor Mehta's psychology department, some guy named Rob Raeside, said his teachings were causing great anxiety among students, some of whom had stopped attending class. If you're taking psychology and you can't handle comments with which you might not agree, then you're in the wrong faculty. How are you going to handle real life if this professor's comments upset you?! And saying you were upset by some comments is a great excuse to not attend class. Way to go!
But I live in hope because Mehta has many supporters who claim he is a welcome antidote to political correctness run amok and a banner carrier for free speech. Naturally, the university fired him because freedom of speech -- or even thought -- is now banned from Canadian universities.
Ludicrous.
