- ...and those "hard hitting" exposes by the mainstream media.
- Robert Fulford: The latest from the anti-racism industry
- Racism is dangerous and harmful, but attempts to pass rules against it can sometimes do more harm than good. As Exhibit A, consider the appalling report of the Task Force on Campus Racism, published last week by the Ontario section of the Canadian Federation of Students. It’s one more tyrannical attempt to legislate decency by increasing bureaucracy. Far from pointing us toward a racism-free world, the task force contributes to the culture of accusation that has encouraged a mean, fearful atmosphere in Canadian universities. The text, just 48 pages long but with 79 recommendations, expresses the views of nine people, professors and students, who are obviously far more interested in the dogmas of “diversity” and “equity” than teaching and studying. Their research, all purely anecdotal, violates basic standards of academic work. The witnesses they quote are self-selected, students who appeared at task force meetings to complain that something they saw (or maybe something they just sort of felt) appeared racist. That’s a social scientist’s nightmare, no more meaningful than interviews picked up on the street by a TV reporter.
