Canadian Judge Strikes Down Scholarship For Straight, White Men
2016-02-24
[Daily Caller] A Canadian judge has struck down a recently deceased doctor's plan to create a scholarship for heterosexual white men on the grounds it is "contrary to public policy."

Radiologist Victor Priebe died on New Year's Day 2015, and included a provision in his will to establish a scholarship with an unusual stipulation. The provision requests the Royal Trust Corporation of Canada, his trustee, to establish a scholarship fund targeted at single, straight, white men who intend to study science. The scholarship also requests the recipient not play collegiate sports and that they not show an aversion to manual labor.

Priebe's will also sought to create a similar scholarship a single woman who "is not a feminist or a lesbian."

But Priebe's will has now been struck down in court by a judge who says it is too offensive to take effect.

Mind if we put that to a vote?

#5  The only thing worse than being a straight white male is being an 'over 50' straight white male.

There's so many of us because our parents were straight.

#2  What do you want to bet that if the scholarship had been for gay black men, the judge wouldn't have even heard the case?

#1  Not familiar with Canadian law but "contrary to public policy" doesn't seem law, neither does being "too offensive".
