December 6, 1989
Dec. 6th, 2011 03:10 amThese are the names that it is important to remember when contemplating the events of this date in 1989:
Geneviève Bergeron (born 1968), civil engineering student
Hélène Colgan (born 1966), mechanical engineering student
Nathalie Croteau (born 1966), mechanical engineering student
Barbara Daigneault (born 1967), mechanical engineering student
Anne-Marie Edward (born 1968), chemical engineering student
Maud Haviernick (born 1960), materials engineering student
Maryse Laganière (born 1964), budget clerk in the École Polytechnique's finance department
Maryse Leclair (born 1966), materials engineering student
Anne-Marie Lemay (born 1967), mechanical engineering student
Sonia Pelletier (born 1961), mechanical engineering student
Michèle Richard (born 1968), materials engineering student
Annie St-Arneault (born 1966), mechanical engineering student
Annie Turcotte (born 1969), materials engineering student
Barbara Klucznik-Widajewicz (born 1958), nursing student
Most of these women were STEM students.
Please, if you encounter someone who seems to blame others for his own situation in life, and speaks of those people with contempt and violence, do not ignore this warning sign. I don't know what warning signs that man may have given off, but he sounds very much of a kind with the man who shot Gabrielle Giffords. I will not honor his tactics nor the tactics of those like him by holding them up as the important people. The important ones are the people who were murdered because of some small-minded man's fear.
