Official says incident shows need for open talks about policies to support freedom of expression
Dalhousie University is withdrawing disciplinary action against a student over a post she made to Facebook in the summer about Canada 150 celebrations.
A complaint was made against student union vice-president Masuma Khan, who posted "white fragility can kiss my ass. Your white tears aren't sacred, this land is."
Over the summer, the student union voted 'not' to participate in Canada 150 celebrations. When the motion passed, Khan faced a backlash. That's when she posted her comments on Facebook.
The university received a complaint about Khan's comment and proceeded with a formal discipline process after Khan declined a proposed informal resolution — undergoing counselling and writing a reflective essay.
Khan had been facing possible disciplinary action from the Halifax school over the post that expressed her frustrations with Canada 150 celebrations.
The university's vice-provost of student affairs, Arig al Shaibah, said in a statement released Wednesday the incident "demonstrated the need for an open, thorough discussion on campus about the appropriate policies and processes to support freedom of expression."

Dalhousie University is fine with their students being racist against white colonialist and their white descendants... That's apparently 'about policies to support freedom of expression', but if you're racist against anybody else... Well... Let's not go there.
This whole debacle began with this...
Dalhousie student faces disciplinary action over Canada 150 post
Excerpt... Earlier this year, Khan, who is a vice-president of the Dalhousie Student Union (DSU), put forward a motion that the group not participate in Canada 150 celebrations. The executive passed her motion, saying it wouldn't hold or endorse Canada Day events on campus, describing this year's events as an act of colonialism.

There’s your problem, Canucks.
Free speech for the leftist race baiters. Censorship and expulsion for traditional Canadians.
I would hate my life if I was ever in a position where I had to pretend these primitive Third Worlders had anything to say to the civilized people that built the homes they live in, schools they play in, etc..
Imagine being a Canadian and having this trash mouth off to you; send it back to Kerblokistan.
Even worse is that unlike the US, Europeans never had the mass movement of Indians from their lands (there was no need; land was plentiful and the population relatively small). These foreigners should go fix their own countries; rather than pollute the civilized West with their envy and insecurity.
“Imagine being a Canadian and having this trash mouth off to you; send it back to Kerblokistan.”

Most Canucks have a national inferiority complex thing going on, so it’s easy to guilt trip them into accepting such absurdities.
I guess; they’ve created a beautiful country, and needn’t hang their heads around these immigrants fleeing Third World toilets.

I think it could be described as something along the lines of a “national white guilt” mindset.
I guess; the strange thing about that is when the downsides of these primitive cultures are exposed, I feel incredible pride, not guilt, about being white.
