Worried about what goes on in our
Schools and Universities?
Tuesday, March 12,

School's Out: Political Correctness & Academic Freedom
Library & Archives Canada
395 Wellington, Ottawa
Main Auditorium
Admission: $20 (Reception to follow film, presentation and
Q&A)
Students FREE!
Tickets available at the door
Please join us for a
very interesting evening on the indoctrination going in our schools and
Universities.
We'll be showing a film and having some speakers as well
as a reception after our event.
Diversity in higher education has been
defined in terms of race, gender and class. Critics say this has resulted
in a new tyranny of anti-Western prejudice. They claim education has
turned into indoctrination of political ideology that undermines the
university's goal of intellectual diversity and freedom.
Supporters say this is a triumph over white
European patriarchy that has unfairly dominated and distorted education
with a Western prejudice. They reveal an underlying systemic structure of
oppression against minorities in traditional definitions of
"knowledge." Who is right? Who is wrong? Where does the truth
lie? Or is truth a social construct created in the interest of the ruling
class?
"School's Out" explores the
battlefield of this raging war of cultural beliefs and educational
standards going on in ivy league citadels like Harvard, Princeton and
Yale, but also in schools across North America.
Please join us for this important film.
Cheers,
Fred Litwin

Our
April Event!
Muslim Antisemitism and the
Conspiracy of Silence
Join
us for an evening with author Neil Kressel who will discuss his new book
on antisemitism in the Muslim world. After the Presentation and Q&A,
join us for a private reception where Mr.
Kressell
will be happy to autograph copies of his book.
"All
religions and cultures suffer from sources that preach hate against the
'other.' Throughout history some have, tragically, practiced what their
sources preached, while some have sought to dismiss or even counteract
the hateful words of their sources. In this book, Neil Kressel shows how
extremists within Islam, many in leadership roles, have exploited some of
their hateful sources to preach and practice a virulent form of
antisemitism. Read this book and judge for yourself."
