They meant “limit a white male student’s …”
That is indeed a FAR more accurate summary, sir!
Thank God Canadian campuses are free from such stifling political correctness. Or not…

I would go even further and say limit a white heterosexual male that still has moral values. I’ve heard that there are still some that actually go to university for a useful education rather than socialist indoctrination. Could be just a rumor though.
What is being taught in school and university is free speech as long as you are talking about how evil anyone who owns a business is. Anything the far left says is fine but dissagree with the Profs and you will be labled.
Ocupy leftists are carrying FORWARD the Hope and Change crap that is the cancer of education.
I’m a financial supporter of the FIRE, myself, and I’ve had several conversations with Greg Lukianoff, FIRE’s president, over the years. One of the things that I’ve learned is that, while the majority of the cases that FIRE takes on do involve the suppression of the free-speech rights of conservative groups, there are substantial numbers of cases involving the free-speech rights of left-of-center groups, or that don’t involve politics at all. As it happens, Greg is left of center politically, while I’m most definitely not. We’re friends because we both believe that the open expression of ideas, including (perhaps especially including) those with which we disagree, is absolutely essential to a university’s mission. I’m proud to be associated with the FIRE because of its principled stand in favor of free speech for all points of view.
“Free” speech in most in most institutes of “higher” learning could be used as a study in how commies/facists take over a country.Funny.Here in Edmonchuk,we have a college called the Kings.It is a religious college,yet they have more free speech for everybody then any other here in the province.Hummmmmmmm….horrible people who belive in God are more tolerant??? And I am saying God,not alllllaaahhhh yahwho(piss be upon him)
Free speech is only for Communists, socialists, with a scattering of sexual deviants.
All others are reactionaries or Red Neck gun totting bigots , who are invariably racists. This is a known fact from the current Media, if not most politicians. They of course being of the hate anyone who criticize their ideology , including most of humanity persuasion. Particularly if your not, abnormal sexually or culturally.
I see where the US can save some tax payer money by defunding the 62% of universities who are found in violation of the 1st amendment.
