Woke Wednesday - Lindsay Shepherd

Lindsay Shepherd is a university Canadian professor's teaching assistant.  She is also no longer a Leftist. Still a liberal, but at least she recognizes the problems of the Left. Give her more time.

Here's the background of why she has come to this realization in a meeting with Jordan Peterson on Steven Crowder's show.

EDIT: Here's the recording that Lindsay Shepard made of her reprimand meeting held by Canada's Wilfred Laurier university for simply showing a video that included multiple viewpoints.  She was smart to record the entire thing, and the blow back to the university after she went public was well deserved.

This is a meeting between teaching assistant Lindsay Shepherd and Wilfrid Laurier University representatives. Shepherd was called in for violating the school's gendered and sexual violence policy by screening a few minutes of a TVOntario program featuring Jordan Peterson which debated the use of new gender-neutral pronouns.

Chavez book for Obama: course material

Fox News is reporting that the book Hugo Chavez gave President Obama as a gift is course material at 20 colleges (at least) and has been course material at some colleges for decades.

The book, entitled "Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent" give an account of European and American oppression and exploitation of the South and Central American regions and people.

Wonderful. How about an opposing view point being presented to the impressionable minds at these schools? Maybe a mention of what contributions Europeans and Americans have made to the region and to the world. Would that be too much to ask? Likely.

Then again, the typical student response to the gift from Hugo Chavez to the President - who's Hugo Chavez?

At least those exposed to the book might be too busy enjoying college life to absorb any of it's garbage.
