A new government proposal will pressure Universities to allow Holocaust deniers on campus. It's wrong. We have to stop it.Hi John,

The government is proposing a new law which they say will protect free speech on
University campuses. But there's a problem. Last night, the Universities
Minister confirmed that the law will protect Holocaust deniers. In effect, it
will pressure Universities to provide platforms to people who lie about the
Holocaust being a historical fact.

It's wrong and we can't allow this to go ahead. We've launched a petition to
pressure the government. Can you add your name?

Sign the petition! [[link removed]]In her media interview, Universities Minister Michelle Donelan essentially
argued we must "protect and promote" the free speech of Holocaust deniers. That
shows up the fundamental issue with the Government's new so-called free-speech
bill.

Pressuring universities to platform the views of Holocaust deniers would be
completely unacceptable. The Holocaust is a historical fact. Those who deny that are seeking to spread
hate.

The point of universities is to expand people's knowledge. That includes hearing
opinions they disagree with. However, whether the Holocaust happened is not up
for debate. It is a historical fact. Ensuring people who lie about the Holocaust
are given a platform is wrong.

There will be people in Government who will be nervous about this. If we can
make enough noise about it, we might be able to get them to backtrack. Add your name to our petition, then share it on social media.
