This doctor is setting a precedent for
@Canada
and the world. He has been since October. This letter exposes and coldly dismantles the systems of structural oppression, racism, and hypocrisy heralded by
@uOttawaMed
. He is humble, authentic, and brave. 🧵
This morning I sent my resignation letter to
@uOttawaMed
. I have concluded that the university tolerates bullying, harassment, and intimidation, including upholding a pattern of systemic anti-Palestinian racism.

Public opinion favours the occupation of campuses. Since October we have seen senseless suffering and war at the cost of thousands of humans lives. This is not political. This is not religious. This is ethical and humanitarian.
Now, we the students have a voice and peacefully
Students at campus encampments in the past and today are on the right side of history.
The students were right in 1968. They are right now. We need not wait for the cover of historical distance to say so.
