McGill suspends club status

November 13, 2009 by Tanya Zaleski 4 Comments

McGill’s Choose Life had their club status indefinitely revoked yesterday by the SSMU.

The motion, which passed by a vote of 16-7, stipulated that the “Student Equity Committee work with Choose Life to draft a document for Choose Life on how to abide by SSMU’s Constitution, By-laws, and Policies, which will be adopted by Choose Life.”

Maybe it will be a behavioral chart that will work on a smiley face basis. Perhaps double-smiley face stickers will be awarded when Choose Life quietly heeds to the temper tantrums of those who believe freedom of speech comes with strings attached.

They would be good to remember: “We must bring ourselves to realize that it is necessary to support free speech for the things we hate in order to ensure it for the things in which we believe with all our heart.” — Heywood Campbell Broun

    Where are these students that are voting in these student elections? I would think that, if some crazy pro-life student were to throw her hat in the ring, it would make for a really interesting debate in the weeks leading up to the elections, and the voter turnout would be better than the 20% that it usually is.

    I thought Universities were problematic when I was a student. I recall various classes where I wondered in depth about the subject and was told; ‘If you’re looking for truth that’s not what were about’ and that ‘I thought too much’. University seemed to be narrow minded, self absorbed and hedging on becoming industries – places churning out a certain product for a consumer society. Now, it seems they are narrower, more self absorbed and are industries. It used to be wondering was wondering too much. Now you can’t wonder at all. Keep out other opinion. What they seem to be saying is we have our opinion and anything contrary is not allowed.

    I find most crazy pro-life students that otherwise might “throw their hats in the ring” unfortunately don’t have the time to commit to student government–they have pro-life clubs to run.

    Yep, David. It’s pretty spooky. Once in a while, you get a decent prof who is open-minded (or, at least, willing to allow his students to be.) But other than that, you’ve got to espouse a certain viewpoint if you want to pass.
