Canadian University Orders Professor to Honor Student's Demand That He Not be Required to Work With Women, Due to His Religious Beliefs
— Ace

What religion those beliefs arise out of is never specified. But, this being Canada, where the law says you could be fined or imprisoned for denigrating a particular religion's beliefs, I have a guess.

A student enrolled in York University's online program was assigned an in-person group project which included women. He told his professor he would not be able to work with women due to his religious beliefs and asked his professor to arrange it so that he wouldn't have to. The professor informed the student he would not be able to accommodate him. The York University administration overruled the professor and instructed him to honor the request.


The school stated a request by one of Grayson's students - who has yet to be identified - must be granted because of the university's obligations under the Ontario Human Rights Code when it comes to religious accommodation.

Grayson's response, which was obtained by QMI Agency on Monday, argues that the decision made by York University dean Martin Singer is based on weak ground and is a slap in the face to female students - whom, he argues, also have rights to be accepted and treated equally.

"I do not believe that we want to be known as a university in which the rights of female students can be compromised by religious concerns," Grayson said in his Monday statement, quoting himself in a letter he sent to the university's dean in October, shortly after the student made his request.

...


Grayson, who has acknowledged he grants such requests to some students for reasons of distance, initially did not want to agree to the student's request because of how it would make females in the class feel, and sent his reasoning to Singer.

...

"I have empirical evidence indicating that the granting of the accommodation would lead some female members of the class to feel belittled and humiliated," Grayson writes. "In other words, the accommodation would have a substantial impact on other students' experience of the class.

"This alone should have been sufficient to deny the accommodation."

As noted in the TV magazine segment on this below, the student actually accepted the professor's reasoning regarding the refusal to accommodate him. That is, he said, "Well okay then."

It's the school, now, which seems to be pressing the matter on his behalf.

I have two thoughts here. The first is the obvious one: This is an absurd request and should be denied.

The second one, though, is this: We all know that many in positions of authority are determined to impose their own values system on anyone who has the misfortune to find himself under their control.

I object to this student's backwards-ass religious imperative of regarding women only as baby-makers and homemakers. But so what? What do I care if he believes something, even if it is a stupid thing?

I don't respect his belief in the sense of finding any justification for it. But I can at least respect his right to be as wrong as he wishes, so long as it's not unduly burdensome for anyone else.

I guess that's what the question comes down to -- whether honoring this student's request would be "unduly burdensome" for the female students he was separated from in group projects. The professor's reasoning is that they'd feel "belittled," but that comes very close in my mind to the all-purpose justification for squashing minority beliefs and opinions -- someone's feelings will be hurt if you're permitted to go on believing this thing.

I also wonder about the female students this guy would be working with, should his request not be honored. Would they find working with him to be pleasant? Or a chore? If avoiding feelings of discomfort is the goal, I think I might choose to separate the female students from this cretin.

How much of a stake should society have in ensuring, with all its government power and government-supported institutions, that no one ever discovers that someone else in the world doesn't like her?

Apologies: Insomnia struck. I had been getting up and going to bed early and then last night, wide awake in bed until nearly seven.

Clarified/Corrected: Although the student was taking the class (a sociology class) online, the actual group project was in-person.

15 It is unworkable. You will have some students that don't want to work with women, others that don't want to work with men, some that don't want to work with non-Muslims, others that don't want to work with Muslims. Once you start down the path of accommodating everyone, it becomes a logistical nightmare.

25 Female students might be deprived of working with a top male student (if the petitioner is, the point is that he could be), which discriminates against them.

In situations where two students' rights conflict, no one's rights should prevail and the class should be conducted normally.

Let the male student take his spring break to Saudi Arabia where he can spend it beating women to get his groove back.

31 So the student finally decided that, yes, he would work with female students. Therefore it is not a religion conviction of his, only a preference. If it was a conviction, he would have fought it. Also, once out of college, does this student think he is going to dictate to his bosses that he isn't going to work with women?

"While it is not unheard of for students’ religious beliefs to clash with the secular values in public schools — from Ontario Catholic schools being forced to let students form gay-straight alliances, to criticisms of a Toronto middle school that allows its Muslim students to hold Friday prayers in the school cafeteria, with girls seated behind the boys — such controversies are rare in higher learning."

It's an online course - but the group portion requires them to meet. some were excused from the group portion because of the time or expense of getting there if they lived far away.

This has been big in the Canadian news. The best article I read asked if we would need to develop a hierarchy for this kind of crap now. Should gays supercede woman, muslims supercede gays etc. The only non argument being that white male Christians in the hierarchy would fall just below pus, and just above bacteria.

51 so what is the professor expected to do to "accomodate" the bigot?  Ask around the other male members of the class to see whether there are any other bigots that would be willing to work on the project with the Mohammedan?  and if there were none -  because what red-blooded Canadian boys, after all, wouldn't want to interact with some chicks, even on-line? - does he willy-nilly assign other men to work with the bigot? 

If anyone objected to working with the muslim, they'd be fined or jailed in Canada.  How does this stroker get away with refusing to work with women??  How about we make this turd a member of a team of one.

59 I don't respect his belief in the sense of finding any justification for it. But I can at least respect his right to be as wrong as he wishes, so long as it's not unduly burdensome for anyone else. Well, first off, a classroom is not the same as "Government Control." It really shouldn't be up to the Prof to show that the request would be "unduly burdensome for anyone else," rather, the student should have to show why *not* honoring the request would be "unduly burdensome" for himself. Secondly, I think it would be awesome life experience for any girls he's forced to work with. There really are jerks out there, and being able to work with them effectively despite their being a jerk is a valuable skill.

The question there was more that the student's affiliation with the class was voluntary. He could simply choose not to take the class (well, I say "simply" I know it's not always that simple). Because of the voluntary nature of the relationship, it should be the requirement of one party to prove the necessity of any "special accommodation." It should *not* be the requirement that a party prove any "special accommodation" to be "unduly burdensome."

They can't see what is happening right in front of them. Their righteous indignation will be the death of them.

155 Having worked on "virtual" teans with ETHNIC Muslim Special Snowflake males here in corporate diversity land, I can tell you that it was unmitigated hell. It was so bad that I called the corporate anonymous 1-800 Diversity Hotline and recommended that diversity training be created for Ethnic Muslim Males to teach them how to work with American born women who are not Muslims, but, are also not bigots. That was in 2008, to my knowledge no such training was created or required. I remember telling the lady taking my complaint that being mistreated by an H1B Visa worker with almost no English was not my idea of "respect for other cultures" and that his refusal to answer my emails was counter productive. This Snowflake would only answer my questions when forwarded to him by a male coworker.

And that is the point and one I firmly support.  The problem happens when the most irrational, crazy, and zealous demand that the rest of the population go from tolerating them to enabling and celebrating them in their various beliefs. 

 

This makes the society as irrational, crazy, and zealous as the fringe is, and I cannot think that will end well.

"How much of a stake should society have in ensuring, with all its government power and government-supported institutions, that no one ever discovers that someone else in the world doesn't like her?"

 

 

How far should society go in accomodating the beliefs of minority groups?  How small a minority must you be before your belief is not accomodated?  Should your passion for your belief be weighed on whether that belief is to be accomodated?  How much accomodation should you be given?  Should the offensiveness of your belief to the majority be weighed on whether that belief is to be accomodated?

Honoring his request would mean that the male student would have a separate, but equal participation in group projects, even if that meant a "group" project with one participant? Yeah, that would burdensome for the instructors and would probably mean less time for the overwhelming majority of the class.

We met with the Rabbi to discuss the problems she'd found, and the guy looked straight through her and answered to me. Fucking ridiculous. And these guys stink just as bad as the muzzies as well.

190 >> "Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs." One version I've heard concludes with, "...and we shall see whose custom changes first." Curious that the feminist outrage is not deafening in its demands for his immediate expulsion from the university. Which, if he's what everyone here is suspecting he is, means the revocation of his student visa and automatic expulsion.

191 A monk has been dubbed the "Buddhist bin Laden" and the "face of Buddhist terror" after launching a campaign against Muslims. U Wirathu has been accused of inciting violence against Myanmar's Muslim minority with fiery sermons claiming the growth of Islam is putting Buddhism and Burmese culture at risk. About 200 people have been killed by violence since religious riots erupted in June 2012 and tens of thousands fled after homes owned were burned by mobs. Wirathu, who says he once compared himself to the al Qaeda leader as "a joke," claims Islamic beliefs can encourage people to have "bad characters." As a key figure in a movement that encourages people to boycott Muslim businesses, Wirathu espouses a form of radical Buddhism which seems incongruous to those in the West who associate the religion with peace and acceptance.

198 Wirathu's notoriety has grown amid deadly violence between Buddhists and Muslims in Myanmar, which is in its second year on "the road to democracy" after decades of military rule. Tensions are highest in the western state of Rakhine, which borders predominantly Muslim Bangladesh. Rakhine has long been the scene of conflict between rival ethnic groups but sectarian violence has increasingly been breaking out in other parts of the country. In May, Buddhist mobs burned Muslim homes in the northern city of Lashio

202 BTW, thanks to the Americans with Disabilities Act, I, as a college professor, am required to "accommodate disabilities". Because I'm in math, this frequently manifests itself in students being permitted to take an exam with 50% more time. In the last 10 years, I've had a legally-blind student who needed to take exams in special conditions, but I've had probably 100 who have to be allowed extra time. You might say, "Why? And why do you let them?" Well, the university considers this a "reasonable accommodation" even though it requires me (or somebody) to proctor the exam and in rare cases compose an entirely new exam. No, I do not get paid extra for this time. I guess the frequent diagnosis is ADHD. All I know is that they go to the university office, get a form and that's their golden ticket. Most of my students are polite about it and realize that they are asking for something extra. Some are quite demanding and obnoxious. Everybody's a special snowflake.

205 Years ago I read a Sci-Fi story about a future in which Robotics had produced goods and services in such abundance that consumerism became a civic duty. The poor lived in fabulous Mansions while the Rich could afford modest houses. The poor had to eat much food, and use many goods and services, and everyone had a quota of material goods which they were REQUIRED to use up. Only those of higher economic status could refuse to consume goods and materials. Well, the protagonist solved his immediate problem by getting drunk and ordering his household robots to wear the clothes and consume the food and other products. When it was discovered he had used up his quota of goods and services, his "Wealth" level was increased. He had learned how to use the system against itself and it's absurd requirements. This story reminds me of that. The Canadian attitude and laws regarding Islamists are brain dead stupid. This student is going to use those laws against them. This can only be self correcting over time one way or the other.

268 And you are selectively reading the part where I said that example was simply one of many. ---------------------------------- Yawn. Do you recall stating that "...in Canada students may not openly profess to be pro-life." ? There are efforts to ban pro-life groups from campuses in every Western nation. There are also efforts (some of which succeeded) to ban military recruiters from college campuses in the U.S. And you are selectively reading the part where I said that example was simply one of many. In fact, there is a concerted effort to ban any pro-life group from campuses across the state. http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/archive//ldn/2008/may/08052809 That article is from 2008. How did the "concerted effort" work out? Not too well. NCLN is still active in universities all over the country. Of course liberals want to ban speech they disagree with. This is not news, in any country. Claiming they've succeeded entirely is disingenuous, to put it kindly.

269 Another difference between Canada and the USA...Canada is among the top 10 countries in economic freedom, the USA isn't.

270 I wish he would have told the Uni that women are like Candy - meant to be unwrapped and thrown away. He could have gotten a State Department job that way!

>>"I have empirical evidence indicating that the granting of the accommodation would lead some female members of the class to feel belittled and humiliated," Grayson writes.

 

You know what? I don't really care if they're butt-hurt or not. Is it a part of the curriculum that *requires* working with women? No? Then accommodate the guy. It shouldn't be that hard. You shuffle a couple of teams around and give him a male-only team. If he were employed somewhere, they would be required to accommodate him (up to a point).

I'm not going to get all outraged over this one. Whether he's a muslim or not is irrelevant. He had a fairly simple request, but got turned down because ... diversity.

His real name was Gamil Gharbi, and he was the son of a former nun who married a Tunisian muslim, who beat her and her kid. So he was fucked up from Square One. He may not have been a practicing muslim, but he got the full meal deal of muzzie misogyny from dear old Dad.

274 I am disgusted by Canadian feminists.

They are the concubines of Islam.

It's not just Canadian feminists, zombie. It's "feminists" period. You, of all people, should know that.

275 "Does Canada have Amish, or any other non-Muslim population that might have strict gender roles?"

Yes, but they're mostly in the western provinces, not the big eastern cities.

276 Here is a solution. Shit-can "sociology" as an offering at universities, period. Who needs it? It's nothing more than busy-work for leftards, anyway. Ever see a "Help Wanted" ad in the newspaper demanding that applicants possess a degree in sociology?


Use the money saved to enhance the engineering and medical schools. We need engineers and doctors.

280 Why do devout Muslims study anything but the Quran and camel urine research? Everything else is haram. Well, explosives, and camel urine.

281 Here's a solution: deport all Moslems to some wonderful Islamic paradise like Iran.  That way they can take whatever courses they want (memorize the Koran) in whatever circumstances they want (all boy all the time).  Screw accommodating these barbarians.

Couiple of points:  The women ini question are lucky.

 

Do we know for sure this is a religious issue?  Maybe he is jerking the infidel around for kicks, using his religion as an excuse. How high can he make them jump?

Like the cabbies who won't take service dogs.  The Brit NHS folks who won't wash with alcohol-based sanitizer.

285 "How much of a stake should society have in ensuring, with all its government power and government-supported institutions, that no one ever discovers that someone else in the world doesn't like her?"

Game, set, match.

When Ace is on his game, there's just nobody better.

(Note to Dems and Trolls:  the word you're looking for is "insight" which is closely related to a concept you've never heard of, called "reality.")
