Think before you act... or you'll be made fun of on Fox News
Do you think the student protesters who caused for Ann Coulter's security team to cancel her speech on our campus thought that their actions would lead to our university being ridiculed on Fox News?

Because clearly Fox News is the barometer by which we judge society.
ReplyDeleteSince Coulter isn't targeting us, I know how easy it can be to go Voltaire and pretend free speech is absolute. I know it's tough as white males to imagine, but racism still exists on our campus. That's unacceptable, and inviting people into our space to iterate racism is wrong.
Let's be proud that we reaffirmed our diversity and tolerance thereof?
I'm definitely not saying the Fox News is a good "news" source. What I am trying to show is that, as many people know, Fox News is quite popular in the U.S. and this story is like gold to them; The University of Ottawa and its students are getting terrible press down in the States, on a station which has millions of loyal viewers. It's an embarrassment!
