Canada steps in the wrong direction. - BAJR - 12th January 2014
"In the spring of 2012, Dr. Pat Sutherland was dismissed from the Canadian Museum of Civilization after working there for 30 years. Her research from Baffin Island brought to light to light compelling evidence based on archaeological analysis and carbon dating, that the "Norse" had landed in North America long before Cabot or Columbus. Sutherland was fired from her post as curator of Arctic archeology at the Canadian Museum of Civilization and her husband was stripped of his emeritus status. There are rumors that she was fired because her findings were not consistent with a certain historical narrative the Canadian government wants to tell.

This is shocking but no the first time a government has coerced, bullied or persecuted archaeologists that publish (or try to) material that is contrary to the governments political agenda.
I heard of a lot of this going on in the Balkans to legitimise ethnic cleansing.

But, but, but..... say the reason for their dismissal IS because they were guilty of bullying and intimidating colleagues. If that is the case then this campaign seems to be nothing more than an attempt to shift the focus from a sackable offence to a so-called academic injustice. I'm not sure on the evidence presented whether it is possible for anyone to support this campaign. I mean imagine if they are guilty as charged. What does this campaign do for the victims of the intimidation? Can anyone find out more detail?
