Don’t these Canadian dentistry students have something better to do with their time?

Canada Lunacy Watch: Students suspended for ‘hate sex’ Facebook group

Canada isn’t just for cheap prescription drugs and gravy-covered fries: It also has no protections for free expression.

In case you forgot that, Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia has suspended dentistry students for participating in a Facebook group where they ruminated on who they’d like to have “hate” sex with in their program, the CBC reports.

Of course, this being Canada (and Canadian college, which is like Canada squared), no one appears to be sharing the contextualized content of this alleged “misogynistic and degrading” speech, because letting the public consider the evidence would just re-victimize women and potentially change the narrative:

Many people are upset over the university’s handling of the Facebook page called the Class of DDS 2015 Gentlemen. The fourth-year male dentistry students’ violent sexual comments about female classmates included a poll about having “hate” sex with female students and drugging women. …

Four Dalhousie faculty members, including a Canada research chair in bioethics, have called for the school to launch an independent inquiry into sexualized violence on campus in the wake of the dentistry school scandal.

In a statement posted online, the professors say sexualized violence is a problem at universities across the country.

As you’ve already guessed, there’s a Change.org petition calling for the expulsion of the 13 students in the most melodramatic language possible:

I also believe that the lack of swift and decisive action from the University’s leader has jeopardized and completely disregarded the health, safety and human rights of the victims. Coming January, both victims and perpetrators will continue to sit together in classes, examinations and group activities. It seems as if Dalhousie has forgotten its commitment to ensure a healthy and positive learning environment for all.
