In the latest chapter in the conflict between Boomers and Gen Z, the Quebec government is introducing a bill that it says will "recognize and promote academic liberty" in universities. According to Higher Education Minister Danielle McCann, the bill would ban universities from requiring professors to give trigger warnings for "shocking" course content, among other measures.Classrooms, McCann said summarizing a report from a commission on academic freedom, "should not be considered safe spaces."
Universities and colleges that fail to comply will be fined for suffocating free speech.
The plans, unveiled by The Sunday Telegraph, forms part of a major Government escalation of the war on woke .
In recent months, the movement has seen numerous historical statues toppled, political speakers prevented from hosting talks, and seen the National Trust investigate its historic links to the slave trade.
But the Government hopes to put a stop to this and aims at preventing universities from trying to cancel, dismiss or demote people over their views.
