"Free speech" on Canadian campuses

A group of pro-life student activists are heading to court this month after the University of Calgary charged them with trespassing.

Campus Pro-Life and university administrators have been locked in an ongoing dispute over a controversial anti-abortion display called the Genocide Awareness Project, which puts images of dead fetuses next to Holocaust or Rwanda genocide victims. On November 26, the student group went ahead with plans to erect the display against the university’s requests to turn the graphic images inward to protect those who didn’t wish to see them.

More than two months later, some of the students behind the project have been charged with trespassing and received summonses to court on Feb 27.

Around the time this actually took place a few profs at the school published a response entitled Freedom of speech should trump discomfort at U of C which covers a lot of background, as this demonstration has occurred annually for the past few years.
