So glad young people today are so well educated on "intolerance and oppression".http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/m ... -1.3764642
The issues of free speech and safe spaces erupted at Mount Royal University Thursday after video surfaced of a man and a woman arguing over whether he should be allowed to wear a hat supporting U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump.
The video, which had been viewed on Facebook more than 524,000 times as of Thursday afternoon, and was also posted to Youtube, shows a young man wearing a red hat with Trump's slogan, "Make America Great Again" being challenged by a young woman.
"You're not allowed to share hate language in a university," the woman, later identified as Zoe Slusar, the former vice-president of student life at MRU, is heard saying.
"I'm not allowed to support a political candidate?" the man, later identified as Matt Linder, replies.
A group soon gathers as an argument ensues over whether it is appropriate for him to wear it.
"Make America Great Again means make America all for white people: no immigrants, no people of different sexual orientation" the woman says.
Slusar later supplied a statement to CBC:
"As a student, I disagree with what the hat represents. I have diverse friends (culturally and sexually) who would drop a class if the person wearing the hat was sitting in the room with them, because they would feel unsafe. Given the deeper issues of intolerance and oppression represented by the hat, I disagree with it."
The video ends when another man grabs the hat off the man wearing it and walks away.
Slusar posted about the encounter on social media.
"I went up and asked him if he would take the hat off, explaining a university should be a safe space," she wrote.
"It was impossible to communicate to him why wearing a hat in support of a movement grown on the seeds of racism, bigotry and exclusion of diversity (sexual and cultural) could make some people afraid."

Oh shit, sorry, wrong word; "Colonization".
And some less educated folks think the beginning of hatred for the west had something to do with U.S.

Trump Criticized for Bait-and-Switch on 'Birther' Statement
Donald Trump's renouncement of birtherism came with some media gamesmanship that compelled television news networks to air 20 minutes of endorsements by retired military men before the candidate briefly got to the point.
"We all got Rick-rolled," said CNN's Jake Tapper.
Trump's campaign signalled that the candidate would address the issue Friday at a Washington event. When Trump stepped to the podium at 11:04 a.m. EDT, he was carried live on CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC.
Following a short statement that didn't address the birther issue, Trump stepped aside for a succession of Medal of Honor recipients to approach the microphone and endorse him.
The networks stuck with the event, essentially a Trump commercial until Fox News Channel pulled away at 11:25 a.m. for a studio discussion and the other two networks shortly followed suit. By 11:30, Trump stepped back to the podium and all the networks went back to him live.
"President Barack Obama was born in the United States," Trump said. "Period. Now we all want to get back to making America strong and great again."
He then stepped away without taking questions.
"What they did was tease us, play us," said CNN's Dana Bash, saying the networks would not have aired the veterans' statements otherwise.
"It was political and media genius," said Melissa Francis during the Fox News program "Outnumbered."
What it amounted to was "the equivalent of over $1 million worth of free media time for Trump", estimated Democratic strategist Chris Kofinis.
The cable networks need to take greater control over their airtime and not just cede it on the promise of getting news, or the hope of getting a boost in viewership, said Mark Feldstein, a former broadcast journalist and now a professor at the University of Maryland.
"They are more than willing to swallow the bait because they know the ratings are going to go up when Trump goes on the air -- even when their credibility goes down when they realize he has conned them," he said.
It comes after a TV-friendly day where Trump discussed some of his medical records with talk show host Mehmet Oz, drawing laughter and applause when the television doctor said Trump had high testosterone levels, and "Tonight" show host Jimmy Fallon playfully mussed the candidate's hair during a light-hearted interview.
Following the Washington event, Trump's campaign invited the television network's pool camera to join him on a tour of his Washington hotel. Reporters were barred.
For Trump, it ensured that no one would immediately question his (bait and switch).
