Controversy
OISE has been accused of promoting radical Marxist activism in its programs such as Sociology and Equity Studies in Education while calling the insitute's academic standards into question (http://fullcomment.nationalpost.com/2010/12/12/jonathan-kay-the-jenny-peto-scandal-shows-that-its-time-to-clean-house-at-oise/). In 2010 a major controversy erupted when an OISE thesis was denounced as anti-Semitic in the Ontario Legislature by the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration (http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/article/903408--minister-slams-student-thesis-on-holocaust-education).

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
