The persecution of white males is world-wide.
Judge Strikes Down Scholarship For Straight, White Men
feb 23 2016 A Canadian judge has struck down a recently deceased doctor’s plan to create a scholarship for heterosexual white men on the grounds it is “contrary to public policy.”
Radiologist Victor Priebe died on New Year’s Day 2015, and included a provision in his will to establish a scholarship with an unusual stipulation. The provision requests the Royal Trust Corporation of Canada, his trustee, to establish a scholarship fund targeted at single, straight, white men who intend to study science. The scholarship also requests the recipient not play collegiate sports and that they not show an aversion to manual labor.
Canadian law allows for judges to nullify wills if the deceased’s wishes are deemed “contrary to public policy.”
Mitchell’s decision isn’t based on a general opposition to scholarships that are based on race, sex, or other innate characteristics. Instead, it’s focused specifically on preventing such scholarships from existing for straight white men. Many Canadian universities have scholarships specifically intended for women, non-white racial groups, or sexual minorities. At the University of Victoria, for example, there are scholarships specifically for students who are Chinese, First Nations, or female.
