The expulsions of Sebastian Foster and Douglas Foster from the course SCI 1101, Science in Society, fall 2006 term, University of Ottawa, at mid-term after they had paid fees, were given student cards, and had fully participated in the course, were based on age discrimination. Academic administrative reparation is due. Also an official apology should be provided for the pain and disruption caused by the expulsions.

The University of Ottawa in this case offered a regular credit course designed to simultaneously benefit both regular students and special students of any age or academic background in a pedagogical setting were the broad age and academic background distributions did not impair the learning environment. In such cases, the university must accept registrations without discriminating on the basis of either age or previous academic experience.

It is discrimination. We have to speak out against it wherever it happens.

The basic human rights of the Foster twins were attacked unfairly by the University of Ottawa's administration. They deserve reparation for the attack that they suffered.

I find it infuriorating that a mother with children never gets her rights met in Canada.This is intolerable.

I do believe that young children have just as much to learn and give in a given class as the young adults we normally see there.

I believe if the university allowed these kids to enter, they should give them equal oppurtuniy to obtain an education and be successful

I think kids in Afcanastand should not be chained up to macheins. They should be able to go to school. If they ever want to grow up to be a docter,asternot ,macanic they have to go to SCHOOL! Thats why they should go to school and not be chaind up to macheins.

À ma connaissance, le cours a été approuvé par l'udo sachant qu'il serait offert à tous les âges. Je supporte et encourage les Fosters dans leur cheminement légal. Je ferai un effort pour contrer l'image distortionnée créée par les médias corporatifs.

Sub-atomic physics requires prior primary and secondary education before a student can participate and learn to the fullest extent. But this activism course seeks to deliver a similar quality education, except in an open, honest forum to discuss what is wrong with society and how we can all take action to change it. Such education is paramount in changing our current critical path, and what better time to encourage this discussion than with young members of society. UofO: this was a despicable AND dishonest move. Please correct your mistake.

I was hoping that the University of Ottawa would be proud to allow this most interesting teaching approach, but sadly the University sees this more as a threat to the establishment. There is so much to be learned, both from this novel approach and for the boys themselves.

SHAME on U of O. We should encourage more kids to be involved in courses such as this one. Our kids, our future ! I hope the donors to U of O are made aware of this shamefull act....and donate elsewhere where there is no prejudice.

It constantly amazes me the way the universities treat students, and in particular, the way society treats children. They are information sponges and should be treated with care, respect, and love -- not neglect, disrespect, and cotempt.
