Ryerson University is huge. Almost 50,000 students attend school at the Toronto campus. What’s going on in the Ryerson School of Journalism? Former Graduate of the School of Journalism (Master’s Degree), Danielle Kubes, would like you to know. Her article in the National Post is titled “Opinion: ‘Traumatized’ student snowflakes behind Ryerson controversy will never make it as journalists.” This is a story that we are hearing more and more from people who love their educational institutions, people who have decided to draw a line in the sand to say “No more!” Here’s an excerpt from Kubes’ article:

Reading this letter you would think these aspiring journalists attended an orphanage from the Jane Eyre era instead of a modern, urban university. They speak of trauma, a poisoned environment, how unsafe it is and how they have been silenced and belittled.

The irony is, of course, that in their strident attempts to dismantle systemic racism, the students ended up acting more like the oppressors they rail against. They tore down two women in hard-won positions of power. They demand that Ryerson hire teachers and administrators specifically on the basis of sexual orientation and race. They actively discriminate against fellow students with different religious beliefs.

You see, only they get to decide what kind of diversity matters — and they’ve settled on colour, gender and sexual orientation. Diversity of thought and opinion need not apply.
