The North Bay, Ont.-based university sent an e-mail to staff and faculty Tuesday saying it was ‘investigating the student in question’ following a Globe and Mail story about a far-right discussion group called Canadian Super Players
Nipissing University says it has launched an investigation following a Globe and Mail story about a far-right discussion group that included a student-teacher who boasted of raising doubts about the Holocaust with a middle-school class.
Dank was one of approximately 180 participants in the Canadian Super Players chat, whose online discussions were characterized by a shared perspective that is anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant and Islamophobic. A number of other participants appeared to be either students at Canadian universities or recent graduates. More than 150,000 messages from the Super Players chat, which took place between 2017 and 2018, were originally obtained by Montreal-based anti-fascists and given to The Globe and Mail.
