I see this thread has devolved into something akin to monkey's tossing shyte at the glass...
That;s right, allow the american bigots and racists free reign in Canadian University's. While we're at it, why don't we allow the skin heads,neo nazi's etc a public forum in our University's to spew their hate also?
Sure, why not?
As we should only counter racism with fact, we should allow these people to be open, so we can see them.
When we push back without reason, we risk pushing them underground. Where their hate can manifest without opposition. This poses a serious risk.
If this is allowed to happen, we have no way of balancing the commentary. There will be no opposition and only one side is ever heard. this is counterproductive to a free and open society.
What you suggest is not only vile, but extremely dangerous.
Any smart student worthy of being a university student would not even bother showing up for her speech unless it's as part of a study of why she's had so much influence in some circles, or to dissect her mind or something of the sort.
I could disagree more.
Any smart student would research Anne's position, develop an effective, reasoned and rational opposition and meet her head on. Without resorting to smears, violence, protest or name calling.
I'd like to trust that our university students are intelligent enough to make up their own minds. If not, then God help us all.
U of O would be a different school if our students were capable of such a thing.
Also, if our education system is sound, we should be able to dissect her arguments easily enough and come to our own decisions.
So you'ld think. But look at what happened. They just shouted loudly until someone buckled.
That is the state of our higher education. No reason, no rational, no critical thought. How sad.
here's another quote from the bitch:
"After American abortion doctor George Tiller was gunned down in church last year, Coulter was asked to condemn the killing by conservative Fox host Bill O'Reilly. She replied: "I don't really like to think of it as a murder. It was terminating Tiller in the 203rd trimester . . . I am personally opposed to shooting abortionists, but I don't want to impose my moral values on others."
Maybe someone should take her attitude and do us all a favour when it comes to her life.
Maybe you should observe the satire that that statement oozes.
