Bambi would like to thank her two friends who shared with her this piece of good news in both English (Globe and Mai<\/em>l) and French (ICI RDI<\/em>):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, in an ideal world, we would not need governmental intervention to protect academic freedom of university teachers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, as per ICI RDI’<\/em>s media article, given the increasing “slippery slope<\/em>” of self-censorship, Qu\u00e9bec plans to better define and protect academic freedom with a legislative framework. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qu\u00e9bec’s idea is that no word is off limit while teaching in the classroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, we need to wait to see what this legislative framework would look like to fully rejoice. However, Bambi feels like saying, just like her two friends: Way to go Qu\u00e9bec! If she may, she would like to offer la Belle Province a song. Tonight, it will be “Gens du pays”<\/em> of Mr. Gilles Vigneault :).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
