RE: Ottawa cuts funding for anti-racism project over ‘vile’ tweets. CP story by Marie Woolf. Published in the Hamilton Spectator 23 Aug 22.
What more conclusive evidence can there be for the uselessness of these anti-racism courses than the fact that the senior consultant himself (Laith Marouf) got canned for posting vile, racist, and anti-Semitic tweets. If course teachings didn’t penetrate the skull of the top instructor, what are the chances of it changing the thinking of his students?
Never mind that the courses are intended to drive home to white people their racist, privileged ways, and that they are irredeemably racist and evil on account of being white and Anglo. Otherwise, it’s all very pleasant and informative.
The whole anti-racism instruction thing is
misconceived. Funding ought to be
permanently cancelled as evidently wasted.
There are limits to what instruction can achieve, and deep-seated
opinion is one of them.
