ABSTRACT
Under Canadian human rights legislation, truth is not a defense. The Canadian Human Rights Commission called for a major review of Canada's human rights laws to see if "social condition" should be listed nationally as a protected class. If one wonder where the slippery slope leads, take a look at Canada, which is a bit ahead of the United States in sensitivity censorship. The censors have evolved a whole new vocabulary to blur the line between acts and speech: "verbal conduct", "expressive behavior", "non-traditional violence" and "anti-feminist intellectual harassment". Gloria Allred, a well-known talk-show lawyer, recently made one of the broader censorship claims in a sexual harassment case. In their book, The Shadow University, Alan Charles Kors and Harvey Silverglate analyze the national spread of college censorship. But the appetite to control and censor is greater than ever, a high priority for the cultural left.
