HALIFAX (CP) - A self-professed "race realist" who was roughed up by protesters in Halifax last month plans to return to the city next week.
Jared Taylor, who is with American Renaissance magazine in Virginia, says he is returning to debate St. Mary's philosophy professor Peter March. Taylor was prevented last month from giving a speech on the separation of the races by protesters who pushed him out a meeting room door at the Lord Nelson Hotel.
Taylor has filed a complaint with Halifax police.
St. Mary's University says it isn't sponsoring the debate and doesn't support or sanction March's presence.
In order for March to use a room for the debate, St. Mary's says the professor must pay for all expenses, including insurance, security and cleanup.
March is a controversial figure himself.
The philosophy prof drew the ire of Muslim students at the university in February 2006 when he posted controversial cartoons outside his office.
The cartoons depicted the prophet Muhammad.
March cited freedom of speech for putting up the cartoons, which were eventually taken down at the insistence of the university.

Unfortunately, this racist scum is coming back to Halifax. Something should be done...
According to the Halifax police chief, there will be a police presence at SMU during the debate.
