Union says Quebec prof’s suspension for anti vax comments violates academic freedom

COVID-19 vaccines is raising concerns about academic freedom in the province.Patrick Provost, a professor in the university’s department of microbiology and immunology, says he was suspended for eight weeks without pay earlier this month for comments he made last December.Provost says he thinks the risks of COVID-19 vaccination for children outweigh the benefits.The Université Laval faculty union says it has filed a grievance over the suspension, adding that it worries the university’s actions could have a chilling effect on other professors who share controversial views.David Robinson, the executive director of the Canadian Association of University Teachers, says professors should be disciplined only for comments that amount to incompetence or that violate legal limits to speech, such as libel laws.Quebec Higher Education Minister Danielle McCann says Provost’s suspension is an example that justifies the government’s decision to adopt a bill earlier this month protecting academic freedom.

Uncle of woman killed in Philadelphia bar shooting speaks out: 'When are people going to get fed up?'

PHILADELPHIA - James Holton's world was rocked when he got the news that his niece Jailene Holton was fatally shot at a bar in Northeast Philadelphia on Tuesday night. What began as a rare outing for the 21-year-old woman, who hardly ever drank or went out according to family, ended in tragedy at the Philly Bar & Restaurant. Authorities say 8th District officers responded to numerous reports of a shooting and found Holton suffering from a gunshot wound to the head. She was transferred to Jefferson-Torresdale Hospital to undergo surgery, but she later died, police say. Holton's family says she was serving as the designated driver for a night out with a friend that began at Top Golf and ended at the bar. FOX 29 learned that a group of three men walked into the bar and one of them wanted to play billiards but was turned down because a billiards league was using the pool table. Authorities say the man began to cause a disturbance and he was escorted out of the bar with the two other men he arrived with. As the disturbance escalated, patrons in the bar were advised to stand at the back of the bar for their safety, sources told FOX 29's Steve Keeley. Jailene Holton, 21, is remembered by her family as a quiet woman who worked and didn't go out often.
