In Support of University of Toledo College Republicans (harvard business school)
No commentsBy Roberto Garabell
The University of Toledo College Republicans are taking a lot of heat for a controversial move they are making to protect students against persecution by powerful leftist professors.
The UT College Republicans are compiling a list of openly left-wing professors who discriminate against conservative students.
The list wont have any force. It cant be used to prosecute professors. It cant be used to have them fired or even discliplined for abusing the power of their positions.
What it can be used for is to help conservative students avoid classes where vindictive and small-minded professors abuse their power to lower the grade point averages of conversative students. It can be used to protect students against having their future educational goals and future careers sabotaged by leftist activism.
This is a subject that is near and dear to my heart. Many years ago I was a young political science student and my educational goals were permanently sabotaged by a leftist professor who was unfortunately also the acting head of my department and my official academic advisor. The permanent department head was on an official leave of absence working for the Democratic party. I was obviously not attending one of the best universities which our nation has to offer.
My professor told the class that we were free to express our opinions and asked us to speak up. I pointed out that at the end of the Cuban missile crisis, we had no actual proof that the crates which were shipped back to the Soviet Union actually contained the missiles in question we had only photographs of the outside of the crates. That was too much for my professor and I was ejected from the department.
In retrospect, being kicked out of the political science department and being unable to complete my degree was one of the best things that ever happened to me. I have since gone on to found two successful businesses and have been able to effectively retire at a very young age. At the time, it did not seem so positive.
The far left has dominated colleges and universities across America for almost forty years, consistently stifling freedom of speech and of thought. Its time that Americans act to bring intellectual freedom back to these important institutions.

High school students shine at the AutoShow
By Michael McGraw
Two student teams from Northview Heights Secondary School in North York and a team from Danforth Collegiate and Technical Institute beat out 16 other Toronto-area high school teams to win, place and show in a unique skills competition that tested students’ automotive technical knowledge.
Kevin Birchall and Eric Salb performed a number of timed technical tasks and attempted to start a 2009 Volkswagen New Beetle Convertible that had been rigged with a no-start condition by automotive instructors from Centennial College. The Canadian International AutoShow hosted the competition on Feb. 11. By finishing first, the pair will be representing Canada at the National Automotive Technology Competition in New York City in April.
In addition to the all-expenses-paid trip, Birchall and Salb collected a trophy and equipment from sponsors. Northview Heights was also represented by Brandon Muff and Vali Ion, who finished second. Toronto’s Danforth Tech finished third, thanks to the efforts of students Jordan Ho and Tauriq Shaikh.
Both schools were big winners, too. Their auto tech classes will take delivery of a General Motors vehicle, which will be used for technical training. General Motors of Canada donated two brand-new vehicles as prizes.
This was the 10th year for the contest, organized by Centennial’s School of Transportation, which promotes automotive technology as a rewarding career path. Last year’s winners, Janos Mann and Julien Predas from Central Technical School, went on to beat all of the American schools at the New York competition and took home $250,000 in prizes and scholarship money!
Despite the economic downturn, the Toronto skills contest continues to enjoy outstanding support from the industry. Sponsors include: TADA, the Canadian International AutoShow, General Motors Canada, Volkswagen Canada, Snap-On/Sun Tools, Consulab, Canadian Tire, PartSource, Ryder Truck, Thomson Nelson, Pearson Education, AutoKnowledge, TecMate and Centennial College.
