College student calls out land acknowledgements on campus
Award-winning student essayist George Ramsay speaks out on land acknowledgements, compelled speech, and what he sees as growing conformity across campuses
A recent college graduate is speaking out against the growing use of land acknowledgements in Canadian institutions, arguing they’ve shifted from voluntary recognition into something closer to compelled speech.
George Ramsay, grand-prize winner of the Patricia Trottier and Gwyn Morgan Student Essay Contest, joins Marc Patrone to discuss his award-winning essay The Tyranny of Land Acknowledgements and Compelled Speech.
He explains what first pushed him to question the practice while studying in Victoria, B.C., and why he believes universities are increasingly discouraging dissenting views in favour of ideological conformity.
They also discuss the reaction to his essay, the praise and criticism it has drawn, and what it might mean for his future academic path as he applies for graduate studies in Canada.
