As Theresa Matters reports on page two, the Carleton University Students Association will not recognize pro-life student groups, placing a serious burden on such organizations attempting to reach out to students on campus and engage in debate about moral issues touching the sanctity of human life. It is deeply disturbing that a students’ union at a major Canadian university would violate the fundamental freedoms of speech, expression and assembly of a segment of the population that it ostensibly represents and did so based solely on the viewpoint these students hold. CUSA’s extreme actions prove that for many young radicals, diversity and freedom are empty slogans.
