Meow everyone, with the start of the new school year, we see the usual activities that are very much part of the university experience. There is of course ” FROSH WEEK ” , a plethora of orientation related activities , residence parties , engineering student activities ( they are easy to spot, they are painted in purple ) , student union activities , and some where in there, the first day of class . However, with all of these activities designed to orient and introduce the student to university life, there is , as always, no shortage of controversy . This article will look at the controversy of this years introduction to the new school year.
This years controversy is around this poster :
On the surface, this poster appears to depict the formation, or at least the desire to form a student union exclusively for white students. This exclusivity appears to have hit a nerve with the usual professional protester crowd , as well as university administration. This intended new student union , appears to be for all of Toronto’s universities . According to their facebook page , they claim the following :
” …. The goals of Students for Western Civilization
1. To genuinely explore ethnic and cultural politics in a forum which does not exclude rightist or conservative perspectives.
2. To organize for and advance the interests of Western peoples.
3. To promote and celebrate Western Civilization. …. “
They also have a web site where they get into more detail about who they are and what they are about, or claim to be about :
Their stated goals are :
” ….
1. To genuinely explore ethnic and cultural politics in a forum which does not exclude rightist or conservative perspectives.
2. To organize for and advance the interests of Western peoples.
3. To promote and celebrate Western Civilisation.
SWC is based out of Toronto and is composed primarily of students and alumni of Toronto universities, but young people across North America are encouraged to contact us. …. “
The York University newspaper The Excaliber refused to publish this organizations letter to the publication . York university is , one of the most radical of the Toronto based universities where its senior student union executives and staff staged a race riot some years ago , an anti Jewish riot. It is , therefore no real surprise that they would refuse to publish the following , from the above state group :
” …. York University’s mission statement identifies “diversity” as one of its highest values. Despite this, when it comes to the kind of diversity that should be most important to an academic institution—diversity of ideas—York is deficient to the point of corruption.
As far as we can tell, based on student experience and conversations with professors, there is not a single socially conservative/rightist professor within any of the liberal arts departments at York University. If such a unicorn does exist, we’d really love to meet him or her.
Throughout our time at York University, when it comes to cultural and ethnic politics, we have been exposed to nothing other than leftist perspectives. If it wasn’t for the Internet, we wouldn’t be aware that scholarly rightist perspectives on these issues even exist. That is a very scary thought. One would hope that, as students who have spent years studying the politics of ethnicity and culture, we would be very well informed about the different angles from which to approach these questions, but this is certainly not the case. This is not the case because, at York University, you don’t get an education, you get an indoctrination.
The doctrine in which York liberal arts students are programmed is called neo-Marxism or “cultural Marxism”. Neo-Marxism is an illiberal ideology which looks at identity politics in terms of “oppressors” and “the oppressed”. The three broad categories of identity include gender, sexuality and, the category that receives the most attention: ethnicity. Simply put, when it comes to the politics of ethnicity, neo-Marxists identify white people as “oppressors” and everyone else as “the oppressed”. Students are taught that all of Western Civilization is inherently “racist” and that Western countries are plagued by a “systemic and institutionalized” racism which reinforces a “system of white supremacy”. Neo-Marxists hold that all Western countries, including multicultural Canada, are “white supremacist” states which unjustly grant peoples of European descent an unearned “white privilege.” All white people are racists, we’re taught, and only white people can be racist, because white people are the sole beneficiaries of this white supremacist system. Students are taught that white people invented the very concept of race—thereby inventing “racism”—as part of a deliberate conspiracy to oppress the rest of humanity. We are taught that treating people equally is a form of racism called ”colour-blind racism” and that policies and individuals are racist unless they discriminate against white people.
The Supreme Court has defined hate speech as any expression that is “intended or likely to circulate extreme feelings of opprobrium and enmity against a racial or religious group.” The above mentioned ideas absolutely conform to this definition. That these messages are being propagated against white people through our taxpayer-subsidized universities is especially disconcerting in the context of Multiculturalism: Canada’s undemocratically imposed immigration/culture policy which is rapidly reducing white people to minorities and thereby greatly diminishing their democratic influence.
So, in order to address this situation, we propose the formation of a white students’ union. A white students’ union would serve multiple purposes. It would serve to promote and celebrate the culture of Western Civilization. It would serve as a platform to promote and advance the political interests of Western peoples. And most importantly, it would serve as a venue to explore those perspectives on ethnic politics that our Marxist indoctrinators seek to suppress and ignore, thereby giving to York a taste of that intellectual “diversity” which it purports to value.

Students For Western Civilisation …. “
The above letter top the newspaper does make some valid points . Now, while they refused to publish this article as submitted to them , they were very silent when it came to these pictures spray painted upon the wall of that same university :
This last one should be of some concern as the symbol at the very end of this act of vandalism is “Jihad” .
Lets move away from York University and make our way over to Ryerson .
” … Ryerson University is reacting quickly to a group calling itself the “White Students Union,” with officials removing signs across campus and spreading the message that they are in no way connected to the university.
Ryerson University spokesman Michael Forbes said the group is in no way connected to the university, adding that he had not heard about the group before Monday morning.
“The group in question is not affiliated with Ryerson and we do not condone these offensive signs being placed on our campus,” he said.
“We are asking all members of our community who see a sign to notify the help desk at 416-979-5091, [email protected] or via Twitter at @RyersonFixit so that the offensive sign can be removed.”
Ryerson Students’ Union President Andrea Bartlett said the signs were against what the university stands for.
“The RSU definitely doesn’t advocate messages or signage like this being posted on our campus and they definitely were not approved by the RSU,” she said.
Bartlett said the RSU had reported all findings of the posters to Ryerson security and they’ve also contacted other student unions within the GTA to find out and asses the situation on their campus to then see what they’re going to do about the situation collectively.
“Ryerson University as a whole is one of the most diverse campuses in Canada and the [RSU] stands to advocate for social justice,” Barlett said.
“So it’s definitely not something that we condone and it’s not something that we support on campus or in the Toronto community as a whole.”
York University spokeswoman Joanne Rider York University said the university is committed to diversity and inclusiveness on their campuses.
“This is not a sanctioned student group or club at York University, and its members are unknown to us,” she said.
“There were eight posters found at our Keele Street campus that were removed immediately very early this morning.”
Forbes said that Ryerson security was investigating the matter and anyone with information on the signs is encouraged to contact Ryerson University Security and Emergency Services at 416-979-5040 or via email at [email protected].
He added that if students observe an “incident in progress” they are reminded to call the university’s emergency “80” number from all internal Ryerson phones. … “
The Ryerson Student union ( refering to the PREVIOUS executive , NOT the current fairly elected executive members ) , has always had a deep history of oppressing anyone and everyone who they felt was worthy of their oppression . Students with disabilities has always been at the top of their list of people to oppress, If you were a white student, forget it, you were getting nothing and nowhere with them . Here is a clear example of what the old Ryerson Student union thought of white students and how white students where treated :
” … Tanveer confirmed they couldn’t attend the meeting because they were white. … ” ( RSU coordinator Vajdaan Tanveer )
Here is the full story
Lets go back across town for a moment , back to York University . We already know that they are one of the worst of the worst when it comes to ultra radicalization , however, they do have help, oddly enough from former Ryerson Students who now run the Canadian Federation of Students ( CFS ) I recently wrote a detailed article on the former Ryerson students who now run the CFS which you can read here and here . Each university that is a CFS member produces , through the CFS , a student hand book designed to promote the direction the student union will be taking for that upcoming year. Here is York Universities version for this year :
The image is one used decades ago by the domestic terrorist group the ” Black Panthers ” . Is THIS really the direction we want our students to go ? Good thing for bill C-51 , for this direction will no doubt draw the attention of the local police and security agencies , and keep a very sharp microscope on these people. OK, time to head back to Ryerson University .
The Ryerson Student Union has a plethora for student groups within it . Anything from Gaming, to Animee , to chess, to , well you name it, there is very likely a student group that will service you. However, NO WHITE student groups. However, for some odd reason, while is is seemingly , discriminatory and offensive to have a student group for white students, it is perfectly acceptable to have one for : United Black Students at Ryerson , Chinese Students Association , Korean Students’ Association , Muslim Students’ Association . Oh by the way, if you are a Ryerson Student, you fund these groups .
Why is there a double standard ? Why are we allowed to have one set of rules, one set of groups for certain students , while treating as pariahs other students ( potential student groups ) who , for some stupid reason, we accuse of being racist when or if they try and create a student group that is focused on THEIR racial ethnicity , exactly the same as the groups who promote their racial ethnicity ( United Black Students at Ryerson , Chinese Students Association , Korean Students’ Association , Muslim Students’ Association ) which we do allow ?
