Acadia University, remove Rick Mehta from teaching classes at the university

The Issue

Professor Rick Mehta of Acadia University expressed he is against trans rights, believes residential schools did good, and believes that the Indigenous "industry" are exploiting Western values of justice. All these groups are protected under the Nova Scotia Human Rights Act. The marginalized communities in Nova Scotia cannot feel comfortable having this man, who is against so many protected marginalized groups, teaching classes at a respected university such as Acadia. 

We demand the full removal of Rick Mehta from the university, including teaching classes and lectures.
