Save Lindsay Shepherd from a university witch-hunt
Wilfrid Laurier University must dismiss the Orwellian complaint against Lindsay Shepherd, apologize to her, and reaffirm its commitment to academic freedom.
Lindsay Shepherd is a graduate student and teaching assistant at Wilfrid Laurier University, in Waterloo, Canada.
In a course on critical thinking, she played a video clip of Professor Jordan Peterson.
Leftist extremists compared that clip to Nazi propaganda, and actually called it “violence”.
Lindsay was summoned to a political inquisition to face a secret complaint against her — she wasn’t allowed to know who wrote the complaint, or what the complaint actually said. It was an Orwellian “star chamber”.
Here is an audio recording of some of that star chamber, where a gang of university bullies literally drove Lindsay to tears:

David Menzies speaks with protestors and supporters at the free speech rally at Wilfrid Laurier University. David also interviews Lindsay and asks if she's happy with the university's lacklustre apology.
