University Of Waterloo: 2 Students And A Professor Stabbed During Gender Issues Class

Two students and a university professor have been stabbed during a class on gender issues, police said.
The incident occurred at the University of Waterloo in Canada — located approximately 70 miles west of Toronto — when authorities from the Waterloo Regional Police Service were called at 3:35 p.m. to a “report of a stabbing inside a classroom at Hagey Hall,” police said in a statement detailing the attack.
I can’t make out what this is.
I love all the baseless accusations that the stabbed at the University of Waterloo was a RWNJ or that the attacker is actually male.
If it’s actually a male then he isn’t a real man and either way they are scum. pic.twitter.com/CY5wEUho3i
