In Canada, More Bad News Out of Calgary

Hat tip Vlad Tepes


In a recent posting, I pointed out that Calgary, of all places in Canada, has become a hotbed of Islamist activity.

Now a professor, Aaron Hughes, has quit his job at the University of Calgary after the school refused to support him against radical Islamist expressions in his own classroom.

Here is a report from CBC News (Canada) with a video including excerpts of an interview of Professor Aaron Hughes. It also has the standard, boiler plate statement from the university.

One thing I have noticed. There is a standard response line from these universities both in the US and Canada that goes something like this:

"The university is committed to an atmosphere of open and healthy debate while fostering a safe climate on our campus."

How many times have I read that? A lot of North American universities fail on both counts.
