If Trump does half of what he's said he'll do on 'Day One', he's going to have a very busy day. It includes pardoning the Jan 6th defendants, slapping 25% tariffs on imported goods and kicking men out of women's sports.

Smash Censorship - University of Ulster accused of McCarthyism

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Friday September 15, 2006 14:36author by Radical Student - Ógra Shinn Féinauthor email osfnational at yahoo dot ieauthor phone Barry McColgan 07709187907, Micheal Ferguson 07881960487 Report this post to the editors

Where are young people to express their political opinions?

Sinn Fein Education Spokesperson Michael Ferguson has written to the University of Ulster about their decision to make it virtually impossible for students to set up stalls on Freshers Days across the university campuses.

Students have been in contact with Michael Ferguson informing him that Young Unionist Groups and Ógra Shinn Féin college Associations have been issued with a list of instructions that includes not inviting political representatives of their choice to visit their stalls.
Smash Censorhip!
Smash Censorhip!

Commenting upon the news Michael Ferguson said,

It is a tragedy that the some Universitys Administrations in the Six Counties have always refused to demonstrate inclusiveness, openness and promote a philosophical ethos of enlightenment that welcomes diversity

This was no more evident that in the early 1970s when in some campuses Civil Rights issues such as Gerrymandering, housing and job discrimination were ignored by Administrative bodies. Indeed, so to was the stand taken by many academics and students alike on the Long Marchs to Derry and Burntollet which should be celebrated as victories in the promotion of a rights based society

In recent years we have witnessed a more conservative element in Universities Administrations as attempts have been made to challenge bilingual and trilingual publications of student publications. This has now been epitomised with the attempt to implement a policy that denies openness and the need for a shared understanding of our past, present as progress our efforts to secured a society enshrined in a Bill Of Rights and undermined by Human Rights and Equality legislation. I want to comment both Ógra Shinn Féin and the Young Unionist Association for protesting against this McCarthyism Censorship.
