I have a new cause: SAVE GAD SAAD! Gad, who is super-internet-famous, and a wonderful guy, teaches at Concordia University in Montreal. Gad is supremely unwoke, which is why he needs to be airlifted out of the People’s Republic of Trudeauistan. Here’s the reason:
Those crazy bastards really are going to do this thing! They’re committing intellectual suicide on behalf of an entire university! More from the page:
You have to read it straight from the source to believe it:
And:
Tell us more, willya?
So, how is this going to work? Concordia has a School for Irish Studies. Seems to me that if you’re going to study Ireland, you don’t have any choice but to be Eurocentric. Seems to me that the faculty of the School for Irish Studies had either better get busy finding the secret connection between the Iroquois and the Celts, or find other jobs. What about the Concordia Institute for Canadian Jewish Studies? How are they going to decolonize that? Probably by creating an endowed chair in Hamas Pedagogy. Probably so: in 2002, students opposed to allowing Benjamin Netanyahu speak on campus rioted.
Gad Saad is an evolutionary psychologist who teaches in Concordia’s business school. Is he going to have to devote his time to teaching marketing students how to sell to the Ojibway people? It’s just berserk.
Concordia is not some rinky-dink liberal arts basket-weaving academy, but a large public university. The school serves 50,000 students. Fifty thousand!
I cannot imagine how anything resembling real scholarship survives this crackpot scheme, which would make the Soviets blush. And Quebec taxpayers are funding it.
Think of all the sane professors, even liberal ones, who would flee berserker universities like this for ones that do serious scholarship and instruction. Prof. Saad can seek political and academic asylum in Hungary, I’m sure he knows. The administration of Concordia University needs asylum too, but a different kind.
Really, if they're so worried about "decolonizing" everything, they need to stop using English to try to boss everyone else around. Throwing in the occasional "indigenous" term merely smacks of cultural appropriation. While they're at it, why don't they move into houses like the "indigenous" people lived in before European settlers came to North America? Anything less will not be acceptable!
I bet some white girl bosses with blue hair wrote the entire thing, in consultation with two-spirit Chief Blue Beard of course.
