Cartoon Controversy Prof to Debate White Supremacist
:: Posted by Bryan @ 2/27/2007 12:01:00 AM The Saint Mary's University professor who posted the controversial Mohammed cartoons on his office door last year has entered the intellectual freedom arena once again with a promise to debate a U.S. white supremacist. Philosophy prof Peter March stirred up controversy on his Halifax campus when he posted copies of the 12 Danish cartoons last February in order to engage public discussion, part of his job as a philosopher. This time around, March is facing off against white supremacist Jared Taylor who was banned from speaking at Dalhousie University and had an encounter with protesters on January 16 of this year. According to the Halifax Chronicle Herald, the debate, a sort of Suzuki vs Rushton II, will take place March 6.Labels: events, Halifax, Nova Scotia, political cartooning, real world
