"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

THe University of Toronto will take no action against a professor who used the university list server to spread pro-Palestinian anti-Israeli resolutions.

University officials claimed:

"faculty at a university must be able to voice unpopular or controversial ideas."

I wonder if the University would have taken the same approach if the professor had been calling for more immigration control in Canada or the investigation of Islamic groups that have terrorist ties in the country or called into question 'affirmative action'?
