Three well -known teachers of University They announced that they abandon the USA Because of their concern about reducing freedom of speech and “slip of US to fascism” after the President’s government took power Donald Trump.
Two historians, Timothy Schneider and Marci Sor – and a researcher specializing in fascism, Jason Stanley, explained that they decided to relocate to the University of Toronto to Canada.
Mr Stanley explained to the digital edition of the German newspaper Die Zeit that they made this decision due to suffocating pressure at Columbia University to revise his regulations for demonstrations, as well as the program of his Department for Middle Eastern studies, after the Middle East.
For the researcher, developments after taking over President Trump in January mean that “fascism” is settled in the country.
For her part, Ms. Sor said in the digital version of Toronto Today that recent Trump government decisions, which announced cuts in university funding and began investigations because Higher Education Schools did not protect Jewish students in the leadership.
Toronto and his university “are very attractive destinations, even if we put aside America’s descent into fascism,” the University of Canadian daily edition said.
