It has denounced potitical ‘correctness in the universities and ' has defended “controversial” tesearch.” Will the dailies now discover - that people-have been hounded for having the wrong opinions ever since the hate laws were passed i in 1971, especially if those opinions annoy the Canadian Jewish ! ~ Congress? = The truth is that the Star and ‘i Province were early worshippers at the altar of political “correctness: Didn't they. back the prose- cutions against Keegstra and Zundel? And didn’ tthey grovel to the pressure groups when Zundel . was charged under » the * ‘spreading false “news” law for saying “that something didn’t happen, namely the jsix million matter?

The Sun was even more keen. - “Who's on watch?" it asked edi- torially in saying that Irving was a criminal.

Do we bar flat-earthers? That “Who’s on watch" headline _ deserves an answer. Which is: Not the Vancouver Sun. Nor the Province. Nor any of our daring mainstream media commentators.

In - New Brunswick Malcolm Ross was jbundied out of the classroom when the Atlantic Jewish Council fumed “on the heat. speech He had never aired his views in class. They just didn't like his pri- vately published books. New Brunswick's lickspittle attorney general added his voice to the chorus. “There is no place in our society for dangerous thoughts,” he said. Great stuff, eh’? But just before Christmas the New Brunswick Court of Appeal took a different view. U said that a human rights inquisition had denied Ross’ human rights. (So what else is new?) Five minutes hater, Irving Abella of the Canadian Jewish Congress popped up to say he was “dumbfounded.” He wants Ross kept out of the classroom anyway and has asked New Brunswick to take the case to the Supreme Court of Canada. Predictably, ina piece that read | like a CJC handout, the Vancouver Stai stepped up to say that the judges were wrong and that Ross was indeed a purveyor of danger- ous thoughts. In Toronto, another teacher, Paul Fromm, was moved after a9 agitation action was started by one Bernie Farber, another CIC charac- ter. Fromm's offence - was to ask a facetious question about Indians and scalping at some gathering of earnest left-wing souls, He is also against immigration, which makes him a “racist.” When Professor Phillipe Rushton of Ontario’s Western University did some politically incorrect racial research, the usual censors .. demanded that he be fired: a wish echoed by the then Premier Peterson. He wasn’t, but Third World thugs and white lunatics forced him to do his lectures on closed circuit TV. . The Province now says we Shouldn't be like some of those bad - .
