00:00:00.000 wow wow so hi everybody welcome to the stream uh give me a thumbs up whoops
00:00:30.000 Give me a thumbs up if everything sounds okay and looks okay.
00:00:33.480 I haven't streamed in a minute, so hopefully we don't get any boomer tech issues.
00:00:38.460 But, whoa, daddy, is there a lot to talk about?
00:00:41.280 For those who are unaware, Francis Widowson is a tenured professor who got fired from Mount Royal University a few years ago now for making satirical tweets.
00:00:54.880 And that's actually not what we're going to talk about today.
00:00:57.380 Because since then, she, you know, based on her, you know, experience, she could be considered a expert in indigenous issues.
00:01:07.020 If I'm not mistaken, she also was working in a governmental role at some point on and around indigenous issues.
00:01:13.500 Anyway, she's someone who's very outspoken about the residential schools.
00:01:17.940 OK, she's like, I don't think there's evidence of these unmarked graves.
00:01:21.360 and she's trying to debate and talk to people about this um you know she has a nuanced take
00:01:29.220 she doesn't say hey uh residential schools were all good she says i think this kind of claim of
00:01:35.160 there being genocide and there being all these unmarked graves is uh i don't think it's i don't
00:01:40.020 think it's substantiated and on this stream i just kind of wanted to go over some of the insanity
00:01:44.320 of uh what happened at lethbridge university or university of lethbridge just the other day i was
00:01:50.880 just going to kind of look I was just going to look look it up on my own accord but there's so
00:01:56.240 much there's so much stuff so many different camera angles and takes that uh I wanted to just
00:02:02.460 kind of just dive right in uh Lee Stewie says Francis is a badass so true um I'll talk about
00:02:09.480 this later or maybe I'll talk about it now um where is like the you know right-wing freedom
00:02:15.980 firefighter free speech like people who want to defend the honor of canadian history not being
00:02:21.620 genocide where are the people like standing up for francis i feel like if the conservative party
00:02:25.760 was a real conservative party they would be having her back i mean credit where it's due 0.94
00:02:30.720 shout outs to 1bc for supporting francis and and her kind of crusade uh for the truth of canadian
00:02:36.980 history hey guys it wasn't all genocide i'm pretty sure some of these christians were actually just
00:02:41.200 uh you know christians who wanted to teach native kids how to read and write and to get uh
00:02:45.860 you know to help their kids be away from their alcoholic parents not saying that's always the
00:02:50.520 case but uh let that one slip out anyway francis is a badass more right-wing people need to support
00:02:56.260 francis even though she doesn't hold right-wing views doesn't matter this is like the most this 1.00
00:02:59.640 is like a very very important issue anyway let's get into reacting to some of these clips shall we
00:03:03.360 everything sounds okay good um i uh we saw this one on the intro
00:03:09.060 but see everyone has earplugs in it must have been so loud in there i cannot even imagine
00:03:33.280 um absolute insanity and we will get into some details later but uh
00:03:38.980 It sounds like the university sort of sicked people upon Frances.
00:03:44.020 She like didn't even promote this event really. 0.98
00:03:46.580 She like tweeted about it one time.
00:03:48.440 She didn't even like make a poster ahead of time saying, 0.97
00:03:53.500 hey, I'm going to be at University of Lethbridge.
00:03:55.040 She kind of just sent out a tweet like an hour or something before she went there.
00:03:59.340 And then the University of Lethbridge sent out an email.
00:04:02.700 I'm actually going to, hopefully I can find it.
00:04:06.060 Do you like my keywords?
00:04:07.140 Lethbridge University fascist.
00:04:09.440 That's all I needed to search.
00:04:11.360 Come on, there was a guy who did a really good breakdown.
00:04:17.180 Really, guys?
00:04:18.100 I just had a second to go.
00:04:19.740 All right, we'll listen to this one.
00:04:29.060 It was deafeningly loud at the University of Lethbridge
00:04:32.020 as hundreds of students protested controversial figure Francis Whittowson.
00:04:36.420 David Opinko for Lethbridge News Now.
00:04:39.340 Frances Whittowson was at the UofL on February 4th to engage in Spectrum Street Epistemology,
00:04:45.440 a way of fostering dialogue on controversial topics.
00:04:49.040 Shortly after her arrival, students swarmed around her, yelling expletives and banging drums.
00:04:55.040 Carly Ironshirt called Whittowson a residential school denier, 0.54
00:04:59.020 and since many of her own family members were forced to attend residential schools,
00:05:03.060 claimed Whittowson is denying the traumas they endured.
00:05:06.420 Widdowson, however, says the university has created students who can't discuss ideas and are complete totalitarians.
00:05:13.840 She believes the UofL should be sanctioned for encouraging students to act in such a manner.
00:05:19.260 Learn more at lethbridgenewsnow.com.
00:05:23.600 Yeah, it's, uh, maybe let's go to Twitter and look at some of these, uh, let's go to Francis' Twitter here. 0.92
00:05:32.880 this was really disturbing you know genocide apologist fuck off Francis they're not really 0.93
00:05:40.440 mincing words here um where was the other one that was insane this so they're banging drums 0.99
00:05:46.560 in Francis's ear and these like these evil people these evil people make signs on their phones that
00:05:54.920 say hope your ears bleed you don't deserve earplugs so this is really interesting because
00:06:01.940 it's kind of like addressing that um uh like that this is assault when you bang a drum in somebody's
00:06:09.140 ear um and i'm pretty sure legally it can be considered assault and they're basically like
00:06:15.700 yeah yeah we are assaulting you we hope your ears bleed you know um and uh i don't have the quotes
00:06:22.400 in front of me right now but like you know part of the whole process of when society is decaying
00:06:27.120 they start to dehumanize people that they don't like
00:06:30.160 like they dehumanize the people that they
00:06:32.220 you know don't want around anymore
00:06:34.440 and like this whole
00:06:36.100 episode is just a great example
00:06:38.240 of that where
00:06:39.960 yeah
00:06:42.300 like you know these kids are like
00:06:44.200 freely kind of just dehumanizing Francis
00:06:46.340 not wanting her to have a voice wanting to
00:06:48.400 like enable assault
00:06:50.480 or you know a form
00:06:52.420 of violence against her
00:06:53.460 here's someone getting roughed up
00:06:56.560 the
00:07:26.560 Like what a, what a, what a fervor they're all whipped up into this insane fervor.
00:07:43.380 Uh, it's really, really disturbing.
00:07:47.980 Um, truly disturbing.
00:07:50.660 Let's get back to some Tik TOK clips.
00:07:56.560 this is Francis getting carried out okay this is the one good this is the one I
00:08:03.400 wanted to react to actually so this guy this guy does a summary from a student's
00:08:08.880 perspective basically that's Francis Woodison being carried out by police
00:08:12.840 officers at the University of Lethbridge today Francis Woodison is a residential
00:08:16.960 school denier should come to debate the topic of residential she's also a 0.97
00:08:20.860 tenured professor and expert on indigenous issues but let's not talk
00:08:24.560 Talk about that.
00:08:25.180 She's just a – Frances, she just fell out of the sky as this residential school denier. 0.95
00:08:30.760 She has no other background at all.
00:08:32.600 She just woke up one day.
00:08:33.820 She started to deny residential schools, and that's all she does. 1.00
00:08:38.180 That's all she's known for.
00:08:39.500 Like, it's such a funny, simple introduction.
00:08:43.020 School deaths at the university.
00:08:45.040 She's been carried out by the RCMP at UBC and also arrested for trespassing at UVic in the last few months for doing similar events.
00:08:50.940 To get a true idea of what happened today, I'm going to go back to the beginning.
00:08:56.580 Around 12 p.m., students got an email from the university saying that a controversial person was going to be on campus.
00:09:03.900 So this is the email I was talking about.
00:09:07.220 This was sent out to all employees, all students, all undergraduates, and I think all graduates as well.
00:09:15.960 The University of Lethbridge has just become aware through a social media post
00:09:19.580 that a controversial figure is planning to engage our campus community
00:09:22.920 in a public space at our Lethbridge campus.
00:09:25.800 This individual, she who must not be named,
00:09:28.800 has recently created significant disruptions at other Canadian universities.
00:09:33.740 Campus safety is implementing measures to ensure the safety of all involved.
00:09:39.080 It's so creepy that there's this thing called campus safety.
00:09:41.860 Is it security?
00:09:43.760 Is it just campus security?
00:09:45.240 They call it campus safety now.
00:09:46.940 Interesting.
00:09:47.800 There's something ominous about that. 0.74
00:09:51.020 Why did we punch you in the face? 0.77
00:09:52.800 Why did we let the kids beat you up? 0.98
00:09:55.280 Because of safety.
00:09:56.380 We needed to keep the others safe by allowing assault against you.
00:10:00.720 That's how we keep safety, right?
00:10:02.080 The university expects all community members to engage respectfully and lawfully.
00:10:09.380 Did that?
00:10:10.660 I don't think there was much respect going on in those clips.
00:10:13.420 But safety and well-being on campus remain our top priorities.
00:10:17.740 The irony of this is, I mean, we'll try to find out more.
00:10:23.820 Maybe there was other social media posts that got, like, proliferated through Antifa channels.
00:10:28.360 But this is a pretty big e-blast coming from the University of Lethbridge.
00:10:32.700 Like, if there's anybody who kind of helped incite this confrontation, it was probably this email.
00:10:38.300 It was probably this massive e-blast basically saying that Voldemort is on campus, kids.
00:10:43.420 Like, make sure you – do they have the location as well?
00:10:49.260 I don't know if they have the location.
00:10:50.660 Let's keep reading.
00:10:51.720 The views of this individual are upsetting.
00:10:56.900 So, there goes – like, bias is totally, you know, in terms of being nonpartisan or not biased, like, that's out the window.
00:11:03.920 The views of this individual are upsetting and disrespectful to many members of the university community.
00:11:09.000 Well, I guess that kind of, like, qualifies it a bit.
00:11:10.760 at the same time universities are places where the thorough and evidence-based examination and
00:11:15.740 critique of controversial ideas take place good our community should be aware that this individual's
00:11:20.880 recent visits to other canadian universities have resulted in unpredictable and at times
00:11:24.940 confrontational interactions i think that's redundant i don't think that's written very well
00:11:30.420 during past interactions this person has recorded and shared interactions on social media
00:11:35.680 to advance her particular narratives significant attention or inappropriate or unlawful conduct by
00:11:41.340 members of our community may be used to amplify the narratives this individual individual seeks
00:11:45.360 to promote we recognize that this event may be distressing for members of our community
00:11:49.620 particularly indigenous students faculty and staff supports are available and we encourage
00:11:54.080 anyone affected to reach out to available supports um i don't know if it was actually
00:11:58.960 reported where she uh where she was let me look at the chat here for a second i think francis is
00:12:04.020 in there shout outs to francis um yeah francis says they came after they received the email
00:12:11.240 so the email definitely again helped kind of make this confrontation happen
00:12:16.460 guys valdemort's on campus come on down with your noise machines and drums and and uh annoying signs
00:12:23.700 all right let's keep playing this for 12 p.m a small group of students were
00:12:30.800 you know drumming and chanting um surrounding francis when a student got particularly close
00:12:38.440 to francis okay so it sounds like the actual location wasn't disclosed in the email but the
00:12:43.920 francis says but the atrium was where my visit was in 2023 so for those who don't know there's
00:12:49.480 actually a a big kind of kerfuffle that happened when francis visited in 2023 as well crazy the
00:12:56.620 Laura Francis widows it as crazy. 0.92
00:12:58.520 Make sure you subscribe to her.
00:12:59.860 She's actually going live after this in about 45 minutes,
00:13:03.620 but I'll be sure to link to her channel.
00:13:05.420 But let's keep reacting to this video here.
00:13:07.380 Started yelling when one of Francis' supporters
00:13:10.600 came up and pushed the student to the ground.
00:13:14.400 Reportedly, the student suffered a minor concussion.
00:13:17.760 Whoa, okay, whoa, okay, okay.
00:13:19.880 So that's funny, a minor concussion?
00:13:23.620 concussion um following this incident security guards formed and if i'm not mistaken i think
00:13:29.060 that's uh francis's husband who's kind of like defending her so kind of understandable to be
00:13:34.500 honest uh if your wife's getting assaulted you're going to want to try to protect her
00:13:38.280 it's kind of just common sense but um a concussion they suffered a minor concussion from this
00:13:44.780 supporters came up and pushed the student to the ground um reportedly the student suffered a minor
00:13:50.940 concussion um following this incident security guards formed a circle around francis to guard
00:13:57.100 her and her supporters um at the same time about six police officers yeah francis says it was he
00:14:04.360 thought he thought i was going to be attacked she's definitely that person is definitely in
00:14:07.940 her bubble right before this came up and pushed the student to the ground um reportedly the student
00:14:13.760 suffered a minor concussion well yeah and then she gets really close to him i mean
00:14:17.080 um following this incident security guards formed and look at the person pointing oh my god look
00:14:22.940 oh my god you see oh my god you see that anyway a circle around francis to guard her and her
00:14:28.400 supporters um at the same time about six police officers showed up and they were just observing
00:14:34.880 and filming generally um around the audience oh my god this person's really selling it eh
00:14:40.140 is this the person that got pushed over around the crowd um so the tactics are like so dishonest
00:14:51.400 you know it's just it's so dishonest how they're like oh i got shoved i have a minor concussion
00:14:58.280 oh my god i'm on the ground and then it's like i hope your ear bleed i hope your ears bleed
00:15:03.300 i hope you get ear damage you know like it's so lopsided like any any small amount of pushback
00:15:10.800 will be claimed to be the most horrible fascist violence and then when we do everything possible 0.85
00:15:17.560 to assault and attack you that's just totally justified because we're morally righteous
00:15:21.220 because the student had been sort of pushed to the ground and a little while after more people
00:15:28.240 had gathered. There started being some more confrontations, I guess, between the security
00:15:34.180 guards and the crowd. So the police actually stepped in and they formed the blockade around.
00:15:40.140 I love Frances here. She's just like locked in. She's like, that's right. Keep going crazy. I'm
00:15:45.060 going to keep recording. I wish there were more camera angles. We're going to try to look for that
00:15:50.100 shortly, but there's something crazy at the end of this guy's video.
00:15:53.820 And Francis, in the following hours, more and more students gathered.
00:15:57.160 There was, like, hundreds of people.
00:15:59.140 You know, we were yelling, like, um...
00:16:02.220 He just gives it away there, that he was one of the students protesting that, like, hates her.
00:16:07.120 We were yelling... 1.00
00:16:08.600 Fuck off, Francis. 1.00
00:16:10.120 And fuck off, racists. 1.00
00:16:12.460 You know, one student spent almost $1,000 of his own, like, dining plan money 1.00
00:16:18.880 to buy and hand out waters to people.
00:16:21.300 the osu also did the same thing shortly after okay that last set like we have to replay that
00:16:27.620 just because it's so insane um the crowd so first of all i want to i want to draw attention to like 0.99
00:16:34.000 how he's like dude we were like saying fuck off francis and like saying fuck off racist and like 0.98
00:16:40.600 it was like it was the most like epic thing like it's this is like the marvel superhero moment 0.99
00:16:45.640 the blockade around francis in the following hours more and more students gathered there was 1.00
00:16:49.760 like hundreds of people you know we were we were yelling like um a fuck off francis and fuck off 1.00
00:16:56.660 racists oh my god that's so cool one go off queen almost a thousand dollars of his own like dining 1.00
00:17:04.140 plan money to buy and hand out waters to people the usu also did the same thing shortly after
00:17:10.080 there's also like earplugs being offered to protesters because they're just so loud um
00:17:15.600 like this is like the super bowl for these people you know and and really the you'll see in a second
00:17:22.900 here like the details don't really matter you know again francis has a nuanced take on residential
00:17:28.200 schools she's not saying oh my god they were great and lovely and everything was great about them
00:17:31.560 but she's like i don't think it was actually genocide i don't think all these priests were
00:17:35.200 just like throwing kids in ovens i don't think there's any evidence for that um but these kids
00:17:39.620 don't care because because they it's like they get the email they they see the kind of like
00:17:43.560 oversimplified post on Instagram that says she's a fascist or she's a racist or she's a like, 0.51
00:17:47.860 you know, insert slur. And then they're like, yeah, I can't wait to like condemn this n-word
00:17:52.820 or whatever. Cause that's what it's like. We're going to the comments later, but it's like,
00:17:56.920 anyway, maybe we'll go into it now. Is it, are they here? Um,
00:18:03.520 maybe this is comments on a different one. Louder is not writer says the one thing.
00:18:13.560 Anyway, let's get through this video
00:18:15.000 because there's some other crazy stuff.
00:18:21.040 Lee Stewie says someone spent their dinner money.
00:18:23.520 Yeah, someone spent their meal card on water
00:18:27.440 to help hydrate all of these protesters.
00:18:32.320 This is the big Marvel superhero.
00:18:34.360 You know what I did?
00:18:35.900 I spent $1,000 on water to help hydrate the protesters
00:18:39.460 who were screeching at Francis.
00:18:42.220 the older guy that had shoved the student and his wife were escorted out by police
00:18:47.140 this left francis and anthony hall who is a former professor at the uofl it'd be about half an hour
00:18:53.560 after the older couple was kicked out another fun fact i was talking to francis this morning on the
00:18:58.540 phone another fun fact is um the other professor here dr anthony hall doesn't actually even agree
00:19:06.340 with francis like dr anthony hall does think that there is a genocidal aspect to the residential
00:19:11.960 schools so they didn't even agree but because dr anthony hall is principled and still believes
00:19:17.620 in like free speech and like wants people to debate this topic he's on the receiving end of
00:19:22.760 the abuse isn't that interesting like like even though this man disagrees with francis on some
00:19:29.520 of these issues because he believes in like let's actually not scream at each other let's have a
00:19:35.420 debate because he believes in like wanting to have a civil conversation that makes him also a
00:19:41.460 fascist that makes them also all of these horrible things who deserves to be basically abused by the
00:19:47.920 student body um additional police yeah francis says he argues that the residential schools were
00:19:54.020 genocidal this is the person standing next to francis who's you know standing up for the you
00:19:59.940 know academic freedom or just the right to like have a debate on campus officers arrive maybe like
00:20:06.020 six seven of them um they go and talk to francis and hall as well as the other officers um and i
00:20:13.460 believe the conversation that happened was that francis was being informed that if she continued
00:20:17.380 to stay she would be trespassing so um at the time francis and hall were sitting down in the circle
00:20:25.140 of police officers um and yeah so they told her this presumably and then a short while after she's
00:20:32.980 been carried out by the police and apparently she got arrested for trespassing um yeah so after
00:20:40.580 she's escorted out by police um anthony hall still sitting in the circle of officers on the floor
00:20:48.020 and when the additional officers come back from escorting francis out they talk to the officers
00:20:55.380 that are surrounding anthony hall and then they all of the officers proceed to go outside leaving
00:21:01.140 hall just on the floor by himself at this point the crowd gets closer to anthony and he gets he
00:21:06.280 starts gathering his things and getting up and the crowd kind of like try to push him towards the
00:21:10.720 door but he like pushes further into u-haul um and sits down again puts on his shoes and when he
00:21:16.920 stands up um a mass protester like physically pushes hall towards the door and the crowd also
00:21:23.380 kind of ushers him out um and then as he's out the door dude that's such a weird like look at this
00:21:29.860 crazy visual like look at like look how a couple students come in from like the left side of the 0.97
00:21:36.040 screen and they're like fuck you just like spitting venom at him and it's like do they even know that 0.98
00:21:43.020 this guy thinks the residential schools were genocidal and he just wants to debate it you know 0.99
00:21:48.800 like obviously not these people are just whipped up into a frenzy it's it's actually quite terrifying
00:21:54.280 towards the door and the crowd also kind of ushers him out um and then as he's out the door he
00:22:00.320 apparently trips and falls on the concrete pushes further into u-haul um and sits down again puts
00:22:06.660 on his shoes and when he stands up um a mass protester like and like this is kind of why i
00:22:14.320 wanted to like just kind of emphasize this because like this problem is not going away
00:22:18.460 like unfortunately these are like young people who are only getting older and will probably
00:22:23.560 join the workforce or become part of society uh and this is how they act this is how this is where
00:22:29.960 their mind is at um demonizing people who you know disagree with a certain narrative or even don't
00:22:38.040 but just demonizing people who want to have a conversation about it it's it's quite disturbing
00:22:43.880 physically pushes hall towards the door and the crowd also kind of ushers him out
00:22:49.680 And then as he's out the door, he apparently trips and falls on the concrete.
00:22:54.680 And at this point, about like half the crowd was still inside, about half of them had gone outside.
00:23:00.680 So the crowd inside were all assuming that like, oh, it was all over now, because it's been about six hours since the protest started.
00:23:07.680 Start celebrating, but we shortly realized that Anthony Hall's still actually just sitting outside, this time in another circle of officers.
00:23:17.680 um so then like about half the other half go outside now and we're continuing to um you know
00:23:32.560 until you know eventually the officers sort of escort anthony hall out um off campus
00:23:40.720 uh there's a lot more stuff that happened um but that is sort of the most essential stuff
00:23:47.680 Um, the events of today leave a few questions unanswered.
00:23:51.640 This part's crazy.
00:23:52.920 Listen to what he, listen to the questions he presents here at the end.
00:23:55.920 This is a student who was protesting against Francis.
00:23:58.500 Concert in the minds of students.
00:24:00.300 Um, like how is Francis allowed onto campus after being previously denied?
00:24:04.880 Why is she even allowed on campus? 1.00
00:24:08.880 Like they think this is a valid question.
00:24:10.680 Why is this person even allowed to show up here on, on a university campus?
00:24:14.220 She was denied before.
00:24:15.440 like the the fact that that's like an a simple question to roll off the tongue is like these
00:24:21.520 people do have an authoritarian mindset where it's like if i disagree with you why should you
00:24:25.680 even like be able to show up even around me like this is this is the mentality of these of these
00:24:32.000 kids takes so long for police to intervene especially after a student had been assaulted
00:24:36.720 and why did this university administration allow this to happen like they knew about it they sent
00:24:42.240 the email to all the students well the university may not have known the details as far as i
00:24:48.580 understand uh francis just made a post like 30 minutes before showing up um but it like how crazy
00:24:57.180 is like this this entitled attitude why did the person who i don't i ideas i don't like why were
00:25:03.340 they allowed to show up why didn't the police do something about it why didn't the campus shut
00:25:07.760 everything down and like throw her in jail already like the mentality is insane right but there is 1.00
00:25:14.040 hope right these are the people that that want to defund the police as well and who hate ice 0.99
00:25:18.820 we hate ice we hate the police we hate law enforcement why the fuck didn't the law 0.99
00:25:23.420 enforcement take away the person whose opinion i didn't like like the the more i try to like 0.99
00:25:29.840 have sympathy for these people but the more the more i kind of just see it day after day it's like
00:25:34.080 they are they're kind of like children like i don't know how else to say it and i'm not saying
00:25:38.840 that to be like cruel or to be like you know oversimplify it but like how else do you explain
00:25:43.180 it i don't know because today hundreds of students hundreds of young people stood together
00:25:49.900 this was no like one club's doing it was just everyone helping out right and from the student
00:25:54.840 he bought people water with his own money the one handing out earplugs the musicians who showed up
00:26:00.080 later in the evening to the person who went out the drums everyone who made signs this student
00:26:05.600 body stood against these hateful ideas today we stood united let's not forget that
00:26:13.060 someone tagged rachel gilmore let's read some of the comments 0.99
00:26:19.100 maybe lethbridge ain't so bad uh six seven got 10 likes is that just a stupid meme someone says 0.98
00:26:27.360 It's crazy how we can't just debate to change people's minds. 0.87
00:26:30.000 If you disagree with them, then debate them and win the debate.
00:26:32.380 If you're right, then it shouldn't be so controversial.
00:26:34.780 Genocide is non-debatable.
00:26:38.660 I mean, again, it's just a crazy emotional reaction
00:26:43.140 and sort of lack of engaging with what's actually being said here.
00:26:47.320 Young people are so impressive.
00:26:49.360 Jeez.
00:26:50.140 Good for her.
00:26:51.160 To deny such atrocities is disrespectful to our elders and survivors.
00:26:55.160 again where are the bodies you know like oh my gosh um let's see i think there was other comments
00:27:05.240 on these ones this is just another angle so that looks like professor hall getting confronted oh
00:27:19.680 my gosh look at this person i'm sorry physiognomy check i'm sorry but that looks like a
00:27:24.340 evolved version of vosh the streamer if you guys know who that is um and just like look how lit up
00:27:32.840 and activated these people look she looks like this person looks so happy these people par for
00:27:38.440 the course and it's just like i'm just trying to think from their perspective this is probably
00:27:42.420 the most exciting thing like this is their marvel superhero moment you know and i'm almost kind of
00:27:50.360 like jealous of like getting to like just show up to campus feel like you defeated like uh what's
00:27:57.140 the name of a villain like getting to feel like you defeated Thanos or something um but in reality
00:28:03.100 you know you just live in some sort of delusional reality unfortunately
00:28:20.360 Yeah, Francis says in chat, how do we know that a genocide occurred?
00:28:27.360 Because of the stories, I don't know.
00:28:31.080 Here comes some shoving, a little bit, okay, okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:28:39.440 Look at the guy in the purple shirt here, this is his moment! 0.99
00:28:43.920 That's his fucking moment, look at that, oh my gosh. 0.99
00:28:49.460 He just stood up to hate and racism and he is a hero. 1.00
00:28:53.380 They are going to make a plaque of this man.
00:28:57.420 Can we get a statue of the guy in the purple shirt
00:28:59.520 with the long hair?
00:29:01.740 Maybe today them.
00:29:04.020 These people are so, these people are heroes.
00:29:09.340 Lex Luthor, yeah, yeah, they defeated Lex Luthor.
00:29:13.460 These students defeated Lex Luthor, amazing.
00:29:19.460 he's on the ground
00:29:25.140 jeez
00:29:49.460 it's it's it's very much like lord of the flies it's like you know we pushed them over we pushed
00:30:11.740 them out of the building we won it's like oh not really you didn't win the debate you're just kind
00:30:18.200 of like shouting at everybody wait is this an old one okay this is an old one so this was actually
00:30:27.960 from 2023 same place similar scene uh but i want to focus on what happened just the other day here
00:30:36.700 i think i might read the comments from this one that were crazy yeah here we go so this let's get
00:30:42.120 into this this comment was she has freedom of speech the same way we have the right to protest
00:30:47.840 it was a proud day to be a university of lethbridge student she wanted her debate
00:30:54.680 and she got it we we all disagreed this has 500 likes
00:30:58.940 that see and that's what's crazy to me like i made the comparison earlier but it's like
00:31:09.980 go back in history when black people weren't allowed in certain places 0.64
00:31:15.720 and then like whites would show up with like n-word go home n-word go home shouting the n-word at 1.00
00:31:22.400 black people get the fuck out of here like that's not really a debate you know like just shouting 1.00
00:31:28.440 slurs at somebody and like hating on them telling them to get the fuck out we don't want you here 1.00
00:31:32.960 that's not really a debate unless you think that like the racists from the past who would yell the 0.98
00:31:39.420 n-word at people who wanted them out of their restaurant unless you thought that was a debate
00:31:42.740 i don't think that's really a debate i think that's just like yelling slurs at somebody
00:31:46.260 because you hate them for in a way who they are you know in a way who they are or at least like
00:31:53.460 i say who they are because it reminds me of uh covid when people were like just get the vaccine
00:31:59.260 bro just get the vaccine bro why don't you just get the vaccine why can't you just be normal and
00:32:03.040 get the vaccine and it's like there's something about me there's something about myself that does
00:32:07.260 not want to get it there's something about myself that makes me believe that it's not like i just
00:32:12.480 don't want to make that decision and instead of saying like you know and it be like it became
00:32:17.200 like a group of people who had this like shared belief and they and like this group of people
00:32:22.140 got dehumanized and like i'm just kind of like pointing that out because it's like it's not it's
00:32:26.040 not a it's not an identifiable characteristic when you believe something but um for whatever
00:32:31.960 reason it's like if you have a certain belief you get cast into the same group that um you know
00:32:37.320 gets hated for what they believe and you know,
00:32:41.040 you can try to,
00:32:41.720 you can try to deprogram the person or like beat the belief out of them.
00:32:44.740 But it's like,
00:32:45.080 in many ways it's like that,
00:32:46.060 that's what they believe.
00:32:46.860 You can't change that about the person.
00:32:48.520 You know what I mean?
00:32:52.280 Let's see these other comments.
00:32:56.960 You, 1.00
00:32:57.680 you of L is a woke shithole. 1.00
00:33:02.420 Let her speak. 0.99
00:33:04.040 Widowson is all for free speech,
00:33:05.680 but only if it's her.
00:33:07.320 That's just total lies and gaslighting.
00:33:10.640 Like, what do you mean?
00:33:12.440 Like, when has Frances ever silenced somebody?
00:33:14.820 Like, she hasn't. 0.94
00:33:15.680 Look at the freaking profile pic of this person. 0.93
00:33:19.920 Oh, my gosh. 0.98
00:33:21.420 Oh, my gosh.
00:33:23.920 Let's not even go down that rabbit hole.
00:33:27.120 Let's not even go down that rabbit hole.
00:33:30.340 How do I go back to the comments?
00:33:31.960 it was definitely
00:33:37.700 how do I go back to the comments
00:33:40.440 what's going on here
00:33:41.240 I was watching
00:33:43.460 be proud to be a
00:33:48.260 University of Lethbridge student today
00:33:50.040 someone said anything but going to
00:33:54.280 class that's funny 0.99
00:33:56.060 universities are junk 0.96
00:33:59.640 universities don't create students by the way how completely embarrassing 0.98
00:34:03.600 if you're only willing to hear your own ideas and opinions how do you fully fully learn about
00:34:11.860 an issue defeats the purpose of an education in my opinion wow what a what a crazy sane take for
00:34:17.640 once she wanted to hear from us so she did she is another butter 0.86
00:34:28.800 great for you students not giving space to disinformation like these these kids don't
00:34:36.680 even understand the first thing about i don't know like being open-minded to different ideas
00:34:42.780 like they're totally antithetical to it all right let's let's keep reacting to more content
00:34:47.280 uh we're going to try to wrap this up in the next 30 minutes or so
00:34:51.060 let's see what this one looks like
00:34:58.800 who was this man what happened residential school denier who was with francis widows and
00:35:26.040 they were trying to debate Kamloops deaths
00:35:28.120 eventually was escorted out by police
00:35:30.020 there's
00:35:32.200 just nothing going on with these people
00:35:34.180 people who deny the severity of residential schools
00:35:36.140 being shown the door at the University of
00:35:38.180 Lethbridge
00:35:38.640 proud of the students that stood up against bigotry
00:35:42.260 Francis is literally
00:35:43.940 like someone who studied indigenous issues for
00:35:46.160 like over a decade if I'm not mistaken
00:35:48.180 maybe even two decades
00:35:49.940 but like kids you know trust the
00:35:52.120 experts not those experts
00:35:53.480 listen to the science don't talk no no
00:35:55.860 that history not that science all right let's keep going through these videos though it looks
00:35:58.900 like there's quite a bit this is from two days ago residential school denialism really is violence
00:36:07.220 and we need to start pushing back against it today if you have not heard in university lethbridge
00:36:11.540 francis whitison was debating with students and arguing against the possibility of a genocide
00:36:15.460 caused by the residential school system to which students came out on mass to protest against it
00:36:19.380 i'm sorry but this narrative that people like tara armstrong dallas brody and francis
00:36:22.260 widdison are pushing that the residential school system was beneficial for indigenous people
00:36:25.860 is wrong the trc already concluded that it was a genocide and more so a cultural genocide children
00:36:32.740 i i love like this is really the core of how these people operate the residential schools
00:36:39.060 they have they have they put so instead of having faith in the bible or having faith in themselves
00:36:43.940 or like faith in their own kind of like instincts they put so much faith in like certain authoritative
00:36:48.740 bodies and like that's it it's the studies it's the studies it's consensus them was beneficial
00:36:56.420 for indigenous people is wrong the trc already concluded that it was a genocide and more so a
00:37:01.620 cultural genocide children died and it really infuriates me how no one in mainstream politics
00:37:06.100 has really pushed back against the normalization of this idea from politicians academics and even
00:37:10.660 just regular people this is insane to push back that's so great like no there's been no pushback
00:37:16.260 they've wanted to push a law they wanted to push a lied law to even criminalize this point of view
00:37:22.660 what do you mean they haven't been pushing back against it anybody like you named like the only
00:37:26.820 three people in the entire country who are pushing back against it saying it's getting normalized
00:37:31.780 that's so crazy really against this narrative i don't want to say normalizing canada like we need
00:37:36.740 to start really reconciling with these communities rather than really pushing back the progress we
00:37:41.140 we have made over the past 10 to 20 years residential school the irony of that at the
00:37:46.240 end is so funny if any if anything pushing so hard against you know anybody who questions
00:37:52.640 this narrative it makes it much worse it makes the sort of like conflict much worse it's actually
00:37:58.220 bringing us back in time if anything it's it's that's totally against this narrative i don't
00:38:03.180 want to see it normalized in canada like the last i don't want to see it normalized in canada again
00:38:07.940 there it's very similar to i know this is kind of like a trite point at this point but it is
00:38:13.780 similar to the sort of like um power hungry people from uh during the covid years i don't
00:38:21.300 want this person on campus i don't want this normalized that makes me uncomfortable and it's 0.87
00:38:25.400 like dude like fuck off other people have other opinions okay like it's it's it's so irritating 0.94
00:38:33.460 um francis says cult cultural genocide is not genocide by the way fair point and it's i mean 0.98
00:38:43.740 not that it needs to be said but it's just like these are actually very interesting topics to
00:38:49.380 talk about and it would be actually really great content if we could have these confrontations
00:38:53.720 and actually hash it out in a debate um and the reason they don't want to do that though is that
00:39:00.060 like these people would be humiliated they would be they would be totally rinsed they would be
00:39:05.240 total all they have is their emotional crutch to lean on their emotional this they're emotional
00:39:11.160 that and uh it's too bad because um it would actually be a really good debate to be a really
00:39:17.300 good conversation and that's something that i want to be pushing in this year is like more debate
00:39:22.420 um supporting francis we're working on the final cut of the documentary by the way if you want to
00:39:28.660 learn more about that then uh go to give some go.com slash save free speech i have a lot of
00:39:34.100 work to catch up on when it comes to this there's still some q a's from the screenings that i need
00:39:41.180 to get out there and get posted but uh also the final cut is being worked on and you should be
00:39:47.740 hearing more about it this spring uh shortly but uh yeah francis is going to be starting her stream
00:39:55.380 in about 20 minutes or so,
00:39:56.700 but we're going to keep reacting
00:39:57.660 to some of this content here.
00:39:59.200 Shout-outs to EdgyDTV,
00:40:01.300 the writer of the hate network
00:40:03.140 of the documentary.
00:40:04.340 He says,
00:40:04.860 that's why you must oppose
00:40:05.880 governments labeling things
00:40:07.180 arbitrarily as genocides.
00:40:09.080 People with power use it
00:40:11.480 to push through censorship laws.
00:40:13.120 Exactly.
00:40:15.020 Exactly.
00:40:15.820 People said that the Palestinians
00:40:17.900 who said, hey,
00:40:19.160 from the river to the sea,
00:40:20.180 Palestine will be free,
00:40:21.160 they were saying that
00:40:21.680 this is a call to genocide.
00:40:23.580 And it's like, okay,
00:40:24.040 so saying people will be free is it called a genocide now so it's like it's and it's when it
00:40:29.560 comes to fighting for free speech it's like these little these little details these slight of hands
00:40:33.600 that people try to make to uh like what how did he even say at the beginning residential school
00:40:38.940 denialism really is violence and we need to start pushing back it's violence saying these words say 0.99
00:40:45.060 having a different opinion is violence it's those fucking shitty little slights of hands um if these 0.99
00:40:51.640 if people like this these emotional uh you know freaks have their way then they would they would 0.99
00:40:58.460 make all sorts of speech violence it'd be such a horrible can you can you imagine living in a
00:41:04.340 society if these people continue to gain power be horrible place to live horrible horrible society
00:41:10.160 it's already getting worse we're already seeing how bad it is on university campuses
00:41:13.800 and campuses really are like the beating heart of the indoctrination right so
00:41:18.280 So anyway, let's keep getting into more of this.
00:41:26.340 Is this true?
00:41:27.440 Can you, is Francis, if you're there, this is an interesting comment.
00:41:30.100 It says, how was it a genocide when the indigenous population grew by a thousand percent during the so-called genocide?
00:41:35.940 Is that true?
00:41:37.680 I don't know the population numbers of, you know, how that spanned out over the course of the residential schools.
00:41:46.060 but that's a pretty interesting, uh, comment. All right, let's get into this next one. I think
00:41:52.380 we saw this one already, but
00:42:16.060 Crazy.
00:42:46.060 these people are so locked into this what's this guy doing he's called he's
00:42:55.000 collecting my mats for me yeah so Francis has these mats for spectrum
00:42:59.800 street epistemology that's a strongly agree strongly disagree agree disagree
00:43:17.020 POV you want to have a debate on campus?
00:43:33.400 Took them long enough.
00:43:36.180 It's insane, dude.
00:43:38.700 That's insane.
00:43:39.640 edgy d tv says having a different opinion on history is literally physical violence
00:43:50.660 yeah maybe there could be a meme about that where like you you fill out a history test and you and
00:43:57.440 you get something wrong on the history test and uh the test like punches the the professor in the
00:44:04.280 face who's like grading it that's just what happens when you get history wrong guys that's
00:44:09.580 what happens when you when you give the wrong opinion of history in your history essay the
00:44:13.120 essay punches the person who's reading it in the face gives them a bloody nose um
00:44:19.640 they all got stolen they stole your mats wow
00:44:27.580 and some of them were painted orange from the university of winnipeg man
00:44:32.900 that's crazy um and you know i know a lot of people have said like oh why is francis doing
00:44:42.700 this she knows it's dangerous you know why would francis kind of like incite all these people 0.96
00:44:47.220 people need to see this people need to see the disturbing state of canadian university campuses
00:44:55.680 like this is this really i don't want you know i don't want to sound hyperbolic but like this
00:45:00.420 does look like a scene out of like a zombie movie or something this looks like a scene out of like
00:45:05.780 history when it's like these kind of like human rights cases that are going on uh from like
00:45:10.800 whatever like the civil rights movement like it's it's really disturbing stuff because if you add it
00:45:16.440 up you know tenured professor studied indigenous issues has an opinion on this contentious
00:45:24.340 indigenous issue and you have people who are like yeah make her go deaf i hope her ears bleed 1.00
00:45:29.560 that's violence her opinions violence this isn't even an exaggeration like this is what's happening
00:45:37.060 people people like i think these confrontations are important because it's showing people
00:45:42.620 the pitiful pitiful state of uh of our university campuses and that's a that's a sign of what the
00:45:50.040 future will look like um and again francis is is doing the work where's everybody else supporting
00:45:57.300 her aside from 1bc and the individuals at 1bc it's like you you run out of people supporting
00:46:03.880 her real quick uh and again like this is a this is the writing on the wall that's like very not
00:46:11.320 looking good not looking good for the country um so of course once again shout outs to francis 1.00
00:46:17.160 widowson for having more balls than the entire conservative party um am i muted i don't know i
00:46:23.300 don't think so you guys can hear me right yeah danielle smith did she stand up for you i don't 0.62
00:46:30.140 know has she it happened in alberta the gray state of alberta good question that i mean that's worth
00:46:37.060 a campaign that's worth a campaign and you know i don't want to like call out the uh the the alberta
00:46:44.660 separatists because i know they're they're focused on on what they got to do to sign all the all the
00:46:48.660 things, but it's like, if Alberta did separate, how does this play into all that? Like you have
00:46:53.820 a whole swath of university students that, um, you know, hate free speech, basically,
00:46:58.960 you know, if you become independent, that, that, that, that, uh, problem doesn't get solved.
00:47:04.620 Um, an org needs to be started like dominion society that supports what Francis is saying
00:47:12.820 to collectivize. That isn't a political party working on it, working on it. Stay tuned.
00:47:18.660 Let's keep reacting to some of these videos, though.
00:47:21.880 If you want to support something like that,
00:47:23.620 then go to giftsandgo.com slash savefreespeech.
00:47:26.160 There's a lot of content from this documentary I filmed
00:47:28.660 that I need to continue to get through.
00:47:30.620 Need to keep editing it and hiring editors to help edit it.
00:47:36.080 All right, let's watch this next video, though.
00:47:40.440 This one looks interesting.
00:47:48.660 Oh, it's hard to leave you when I kiss you everywhere
00:47:52.620 All this time I think I miss you, I'm here
00:47:56.460 And oh, it's hard to see you when I wish you were right here
00:48:00.920 Oh, it's hard to leave you
00:48:03.020 The meme energy is real.
00:48:08.340 There must have been an angel by my side
00:48:12.280 Something happened that led me to you
00:48:16.780 Look at the sky
00:48:20.720 It's the color of love
00:48:25.200 Interesting, interesting.
00:48:30.540 So I guess the joke is that someone was an ally or helping.
00:48:35.540 Somebody wasn't hostile towards Francis,
00:48:37.680 so they must be in love together, and that's funny.
00:48:40.920 Is this one new?
00:48:41.700 That's from two years ago.
00:48:42.480 That's from two years ago, two years ago, two years ago.
00:48:46.780 An appeal by anti-woke speaker Frances Whittowson against the University of Lethbridge has been dismissed.
00:48:54.480 David Opinko for Lethbridge News Now.
00:48:57.040 Whittowson was set to speak at the UofL in early 2023 and give a talk about how wokeism threatens academic freedom.
00:49:04.300 The university ended up canceling the event, saying some of her ideas were harmful to Indigenous peoples, LGBTQ+, and other minorities.
00:49:13.520 They cited parts of the Occupational Health and Safety Act
00:49:16.560 that state employers must look after the well-being of their employees
00:49:20.080 and others in their vicinity.
00:49:22.300 Whittowson believes that her rights to free speech and assembly were violated
00:49:25.800 and sought to strike down parts of the OHA.
00:49:29.340 All right, I want to see more camera angles.
00:49:32.500 Oh, this guy. This guy talked about it, I think.
00:49:42.940 oh this is two years ago shit sorry this is two years ago where is this guy 0.85
00:49:48.940 though what what is going on with this do I got to refresh this Lethbridge 0.98
00:50:00.700 University fascist I feel like that's the banger keywords I'll put widows in
00:50:07.940 or Francis 0.68
00:50:09.300 Francis and fascist rhymes
00:50:14.140 I rest my case
00:50:15.180 this is
00:50:37.940 is this what this isn't 2023 is it
00:50:48.920 all right you get the idea um man i want the one of the guys sitting in his car because i'm pretty
00:51:01.920 sure that was a... My name is Riley Walberger. I was born in Lethbridge, Alberta. I live on the
00:51:09.520 north side of Lethbridge. I am fourth, maybe fifth generation Albertan, and behind me is the next
00:51:18.240 generation. We have lived our lives for generations here in Alberta, and I'm making this video for one
00:51:25.820 very important reason i want to be exceptionally clear that i am a canadian first if alberta were
00:51:34.300 to separate from canada for whatever resettle back into canada thing okay i thought it was about
00:51:40.940 francis i don't want to get into that whole debate uh that whole can't worms but um all right let's
00:51:47.400 Let's see what else is cooking on the timeline here.
00:51:55.400 We saw this clip.
00:51:57.400 Let's try some keywords on Twitter.
00:52:00.400 Lethbridge, Francis.
00:52:08.400 Protests drum out university.
00:52:10.400 Drum out what is in a University of Lethbridge event.
00:52:17.400 Oh, this is an old one. Is this an old one again? Jeez. Guys, I don't want the 2023. I want the
00:52:36.020 new one. Oh, Francis, you've done this so many times. Jeez.
00:52:55.020 Latest. Yeah, there we go.
00:53:02.080 Okay.
00:53:06.020 I mean, it is crazy that Frances barely promoted this event at all.
00:53:16.400 She made like one tweet, and then she showed up. 1.00
00:53:18.860 And then this one email from the faculty is what drew all these people to be there.
00:53:25.460 Come on.
00:53:26.140 Let's mix it up.
00:53:32.840 Lethbridge.
00:53:33.360 uh what's gonna be genocide i gotta get on it on like a hashtag
00:53:40.360 2023 again no no 2023 again no
00:53:47.460 hate speech does not equal academic freedom
00:54:03.360 Wait they had a band there what what the they had a band there that's crazy
00:54:33.360 No space for racists here. 0.99
00:54:38.460 The truth is moving without you, racist. 0.92
00:54:44.980 What does this one say?
00:54:50.680 I can't read that. 0.96
00:54:52.380 Shoot.
00:55:01.020 It's fascinating.
00:55:03.360 Oh, bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao, partigiano, portami via, che mi sento di morire.
00:55:18.140 Someone says, this is the kind of bullying I can get behind.
00:55:46.000 Winning by intellectual debate?
00:55:47.580 no winning by mindless mob mentality
00:55:49.740 yes this country is cooked
00:55:51.320 yep
00:55:51.920 right on I wish more people would see this
00:55:59.860 nationally Alberta is not
00:56:01.800 all a bunch of conservatives I will never
00:56:03.660 be ashamed of my province and it's real people 0.99
00:56:05.680 yeah I have a
00:56:07.760 theory that liberals in
00:56:09.620 Alberta are like very insecure so they 1.00
00:56:11.620 need to like overcompensate 1.00
00:56:12.920 by you know doing shit like this 0.99
00:56:17.500 the joy on the drummer's face as they play is amazing it's disgusting that they were 0.99
00:56:24.380 even allowed on campus how dare canada preach that we are safe when we can't even keep this
00:56:29.980 away i can only imagine the fear and outrage this protest has brought to families with 0.57
00:56:35.560 residential school trauma around the area please be safe that's insane that's insane dude
00:56:43.240 like it's traumatic that somebody even showed up to talk to somebody that's where we're at
00:56:49.720 that's where we're at it's traumatic that someone would even show up to uh hey i i kind of disagree
00:56:56.340 do you want to talk about it oh god make it stop this is traumatizing raw like the victim mentality
00:57:05.440 that victimhood drug is insane they tried to do the same presentation in british columbia a few
00:57:10.720 weeks ago and they were arrested unfortunately for us in alberta residential school denialism
00:57:14.820 is considered a freedom of expression rather than what it is hate speech oh my god brother
00:57:21.020 these people are cooked man
00:57:26.880 i don't want to go down this rabbit hole right now this looks really tempting but i don't want
00:57:40.160 to go after random people on Tik TOK. I don't know if that's the play right now. Uh, I should
00:57:44.420 be wrapping it up cause I think Francis is going to be going live soon. Uh, maybe I could, I could
00:57:49.500 talk about that real quickly. Um, let's see if there's any more to react to. Um, there's probably
00:58:00.560 is more. If you do find any, you guys should actually send a tweet. Um, maybe I'll make a
00:58:07.060 quick Twitter thread I'll just do this if anyone finds more clips and camera
00:58:26.940 angles of this event, please event on social media to talk, Instagram, please leave the
00:58:47.460 link below.
00:58:50.760 There was, um, I, again, I was talking to Francis and like, I hope we can find a clip
00:58:55.600 of this but um you you could see the people the protesters kind of making signs um they were like
00:59:05.020 holding up signs and such and francis started doing the same thing and she made a sign that 0.56
00:59:10.760 said like a quote from 1984 which is like freedom is having the freedom to say two plus two equals
00:59:17.160 four and francis was telling me that she held up this sign and this like really like angered them
00:59:23.080 this really triggered them this made them like you know escalate their insanity to say like
00:59:28.220 literally holding up a sign that says two plus two equals four so if anybody can find that clip
00:59:33.280 I would love to see that clip in action but I think Francis is going to be going live shortly
00:59:40.980 I will try to leave the link to that or there's a pinned in the chat there's Francis's a channel
00:59:48.820 And I think, yeah, she is live now.
00:59:51.400 So I encourage you guys to go over and check her, check out her stream.
00:59:57.000 But just a real, real quick.
00:59:58.940 I got, I had the privilege to, this is, this is similar but different.
01:00:04.240 It's about Francis, but it's kind of on a different subject.
01:00:06.600 For those who don't know, Francis got basically fired.
01:00:09.340 Tenured, tenured university got fired for sending out like satirical tweets because she was getting attacked by like sort of an anti-racist Antifa account on Twitter.
01:00:18.820 And she responded, Francis responded with these kind of satirical tweets, kind of like making fun of it.
01:00:24.260 And then essentially a number of faculty members made complaints and this all snowballed into her like losing her job for two weeks and then like not being able to go back for a tenured professor, by the way, not able to go back to work.
01:00:38.500 And then I think last year they said, OK, that was inappropriate.
01:00:43.440 That was an overreaction.
01:00:44.720 However, you're still not allowed to go back to work.
01:00:46.760 And then there was just the other day, there was this tribunal hearing between her union and like the lawyers that represent MRU, Mount Royal University and Mount Royal.
01:00:58.200 And like, you know, the lawyer for Mount Royal University was explaining this is why she can't come back.
01:01:02.360 And I got to see this tribunal hearing.
01:01:04.800 I wish more people could see it because it was so insane.
01:01:08.020 But long story short, the lawyer saying that she can't come back to work was literally citing tweets from Francis or like articles from Francis who was saying like, hey, I feel like wokeism is taking over our universities.
01:01:29.140 I don't think they're actually inclusive.
01:01:31.260 I'm going to keep fighting for academic freedom.
01:01:33.260 the lawyer was literally taking these comments from Francis and saying this is why she can't
01:01:38.520 come back to work this is what's creating a toxic work environment this professor is
01:01:43.800 celebrating academic freedom she can't come back to work totally insane anyway she's going to be 0.97
01:01:50.060 talking about it more uh on her live stream right now if you want to go deeper into the weeds make
01:01:54.560 sure you check that out um I think this is the link right here I'm going to send it in chat I'm
01:02:01.120 probably going to go over there right now as well. Thanks so much for tuning in. Love you guys so
