byOliver Capko, a first-year agriculture student at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Langley, B.C., had applied for his group, Protectores Vitae, to become a funded campus club, but the Kwantlen Student Association’s executive denied that status because it is a pro-choice student government.
Mr. Capko and the Protectores members were offered the unfunded ‘recognized group’ status, which the KSA gives to political and religious groups, but has declined. “It is unfortunate that we have to sue our own student representatives in order to secure equal and fair treatment on campus,” Mr. Capko said in a statement. “We are not religious, nor are we political.”

This is another example of ‘BIG’ issues wherein Western culture is increasingly leaning towards some have the right to be heard and others do not. Similar to; ‘Some are fit for living and others are not.’ George Orwell wasn’t the first to speak about this and not the most recent but Orwellian ‘times’ are being promoted more and more in ‘respectable’ circles and this is not good. Three cheers for Mr. Capko who is along the lines of Martin Neimoller, perhaps unknowingly but none the less actually;’When they came for me there was no one left to speak out.’
