Ontario Bans Coulter: School Trying To Create A “Safe Place”

March 24, 2010 / 1:02 pm • By Dr. Melissa Clouthier

My brother called me to ridicule Canada in general and the decision to ban Ann Coulter in particular. Here is what really got him going:

Rita Valeriano was one of several protesters inside the hall who, with chants of “Coulter go home!” shouted down the International Free Press Society of Canada organizer who was addressing the crowd.

Valeriano, a 19-year-old sociology and women’s studies student, said later that she was happy Coulter was unable to speak the “hatred” she had planned to.

“On campus, we promise our students a safe and positive space,” she said. “And that’s not what (Coulter) brings.”

They want to create a “safe and positive space” all the while screaming hateful slogans against Coulter.

Also, what childish silly people. Where are they? Kindergarten? It sounds like they’re talking about preschoolers here….which may be the case.

If kids get mommy and daddy’s health care until they’re 26, at 18 their baby ears are probably too delicate to hear a diverse opinion.

    a) Coulter hasn’t been banned by Ontario; the decision made to cancel her appearance was hers and that of her security retinue, so she actually banned herself in Ottawa. Her previous appearance was at the University of Western Ontario.

    b) Which hateful slogans were being screamed? Can you cite any sources? I live in Ottawa and there were no account of any hate coming from that crowd. By all local accounts, this was a peaceful protest.

    c) We get health care here way past the age of 26 here.

    Whoops! I made a mistake in my previous post, point a) should be read as:

    So if white, male students we shouting at a Muslim exchange student trying to give a speech, “Mohamed Go Home,” would that be considered a peaceful protest?

    Given that Coulter receives death threats as a part of every day life, I find it hard to believe that she was afraid of a peaceful protest.

    The reason Coulter’s group decided not to appear was: the room she was to speak in held only 400 people and they were advised of the potential safety hazard. Then they made the proverbial political hay out of it.
