Gotta have priorities... right, Mo?Earlier this week Ryerson President and Vice-Chancellor, Mohamed Lachemi, announced the creation of a task force to examine Egerton Ryerson’s history and relationship to the university.Ol' Mo seems pretty reconciled to cashing those tainted racist cheques...

In June, recent Ryerson graduate Maaz Khan started a petition to have Egerton Ryerson’s statue removed.Yeah, let's go after the unenlightened "thought criminal" who was born in 1803. (Speaking of centuries past, still no word from Buckingham Palace on my "Highland Clearances Reparations" payout.)

TORONTO — While flipping through his six-year-old son’s new student planner Monday night, Jaak Purres was shocked to see some pretty heavy words jump out at him: sex worker, female genital mutilation, Palestinian solidarity.
“It’s just bizarre,” said the outraged dad. “He’s six. I want him to enjoy being six.”

• “Meet The Black Family Who Produced Cars For 100 Years Before Henry Ford”
• “Research Shows That Chemicals in Foods Are Making Young Men Gay In The U.S.”
• “How Black Female Prisoners Are Sterilized To Cut Welfare Costs In California”
• “The First American President Was A Black Man — Not George Washington”
Biden did not indicate what sources had convinced him of this claim.

"Lewis Latimer invented the carbon filament in 1881 or 1882? No! English chemist/physicist Joseph Swan experimented with a carbon-filament incandescent light all the way back in 1860, and by 1878 had developed a better design which he patented in Britain.Hmmm... Latimer worked at the Patent Office? You don't say.

“The irony here,” says Professor Nicholas Damask, Ph.D., who also has an MA in International Relations, “is that literally during this phone call, I and my wife were tossing socks and jammies and our nine-year-old grandson’s toys into a suitcase to get the hell out of the house because of the death threats made by Islamic commenters on the College’s Instagram page.”UPDATE: From the comments...

SAN FRANCISCO — In George Orwell’s “1984,” the classics of literature are rewritten into Newspeak, a revision and reduction of the language meant to make bad thoughts literally unthinkable. “It’s a beautiful thing, the destruction of words,” one true believer exults.
Now some of the writer’s own words are getting reworked in Amazon’s vast virtual bookstore, a place where copyright laws hold remarkably little sway. Orwell’s reputation may be secure, but his sentences are not.
