"Siksikaitsitapii (Blackfoot Confederacy) territory on which our University is located"? So the university has seceded from Canada? Sounds like Seattle's "Autonomous People's Zone" to me. Widdowson should ride in with some Mountie escorts. But seriously, people need to sign their property over to the tribes or shut up with the land acknowledgements. If words are indeed weapons, they're direct attacks on national sovereignty.

ULFA members announce they represent truth, but truth cannot emerge from closed debate, a priori assumptions, ideological lies, and guest-speaker cancellation. Those shutting down Frances will eventually want to shut down all public criticism, as in Putin’s Russia.

The abandonment of toleration, loss of respect for intellectual differences & unwillingness to harbor debate means the end of open societies & the beginning of the road to civil war.....
