No, the danger we are being warned about is university scholarships for children of Canadian soldiers killed in the line of duty. THAT's what counts for a dangerous cultural turn in 2010 Canada.
Here's what sixteen professors at the University of Regina had to say:
“... support for Project Hero represents a dangerous cultural turn. It associates heroism with the act of military intervention. It erases the space for critical discussion of military policy and practices”.
"It erases the space"? Does this even mean anything -- it erases the space? You give an orphaned child a university scholarship and you can't have a discussion? Is this even reality-based?
"It associates heroism with the act of military intervention."
Well, yeah. What would you associate it with, courageous letter-writing?
These 16 professors all have safe jobs in a safe country because a generation ago Canadian soldiers engaged in a decidedly unsafe military intervention which secured their present freedoms.
What makes me think that The Regina Sixteen all lean to the left?
And that's the way the Ball bounces.

Could they be against this because those kids have been raised in families where service/duty/family are important. Those kids would most likely have more conservative ideas than the profs would like in their students. Those students might question the leftist ideas of the profs and many student unions.
Are they afraid of having these students in their university.
Imagine students there to learn, not protest.
A good point. Thanks for the comment.
