I have been negotiating the terms of a proposed debate/discussion about political correctness with the University of Toronto administration. However, they are concerned about the legality of my recent rejection of legislatively-imposed politically correct language, and the potential entanglement of the university. As my employer, the university is, under the same legislation, legally responsible for my speech. I suggested that they would be better occupied supporting my right to speak the words I believe to be true, as outlined in their own Statement on Freedom of Expression (1992).
They rejected that suggestion, deciding instead to take the Route of Social Justice. That sums up the state of the modern university. Those who have ears, let them hear.
