Meaning, government can't be bothered with free speech
Jordan Peterson can be ordered to undergo social media training, Ontario court rules
Jordan Peterson was ordered by the College of Psychologists of Ontario to undergo a coaching program on professionalism in public statementsnationalpost.com
Our Canadian posters love to flaunt their nation as being better.
Except here is Mr Peterson being forced into a re education camp for acceptable speech or lose his license to practice.
Very communist of Canada eh....
Another fascist leftist for thought controlThe association acted entirely within its moral and legal rights as did the court in reaffirming these rights
If he can get licensed here, he should move to the United States.Time to move to a free country.
Psychologist Jordan Peterson could lose license if he refuses social media ‘re-education’
Controversial Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson has launched a legal challenge to the College of Psychologists of Ontario’s requirement that he complete social media re-education for comments h…nypost.com
I was just commenting on his appeal. . . and apparently, there are some folks that do care.YEah this thread is a zombie and no one cares anymore
You don't even know what I was talking to Min tut about do you?I was just commenting on his appeal. . . and apparently, there are some folks that do care.
. . . I don't like opening up new threads if it is not necessary.
Sorry if pointing out authoritarian government control bothers you.
You are correct, I was commenting on the topic of the thread. Oh well.You don't even know what I was talking to Min tut about do you?
He stated that JP told a patient to commit suicide and there was absolutely no proof of that anywhere
Ostensibly,According to Ontario court documents, he’s been the subject of complaints since 2018 about his public statements “on topics of social and political interest, including transgender questions, racism, overpopulation, and the response to COVID-19, among others.” The complainers—none of whom seem ever to have been his patients—mainly tweeted their objections to the provincial licensing board known as the College of Psychologists of Ontario.
However, the board is part of the liberal establishment. That means its true primary purpose is to impose leftism.The board’s job is to regulate for competence, not for political views.
Peterson’s allegedly problematic manner and tone are generally thoughtful and professorial. But he is no coward. He declined to submit to demeaning political indoctrination. The board proclaimed that this refusal “may constitute professional misconduct.”In August 2022 the board wrote to Mr. Peterson on behalf of its panel of investigators about his “demeaning, degrading and unprofessional” public statements and the “harm” they could cause people. He could solve the problem, the bureaucrats said, if he would agree to attend a re-education camp of its choosing.
Liberals helpfully underscored his point by attempting to silence him.Court documents cite instances of name-calling politicians and his refusal to use pronouns other than those that correspond to biological sex. In May 2022, court documents say, “he commented on a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition cover with a plus-sized model, tweeting: ‘Sorry. Not Beautiful. And no amount of authoritarian tolerance is going to change that.’”
In a free society, even those who disagree with Peterson would acknowledge his right to his opinion. Canada — the moribund canary in the coalmine of moonbattery — is not a free society.This makes him a problem for the mob and a danger to a system that relies on cultural repression to advance its agenda.
I am not sure what you mean by this. Are you saying that anybody who belongs to a professional organization is automatically a spokesperson for that organization?He belongs to a professional organization that sets standards of behavior for its members. He represents himself as a member of that organization when he makes these proclamations.
Why should he stop making statements that he wishes to make?The organization has told him to stop. He did not, so the organization told him to take training.
Then the question becomes, when he makes those statements, is he acting in a professional capacity, or is he acting as a private citizen?Peterson claimed that he had the right to say these things. The court said he had the right to say these things as a private citizen, but the professional organization has the right to set standards for its members.
Have you actually read the contract that he signed with his employer? You talk like you know what his contract says.If you break a contract with someone and the court rules against you, that’s not the government imposing its will on you.
It’s you breaking the terms of the contract and the court enforcing the terms of the contract.
I really think the issue is that Jordon Peterson is a highly visible individual who says things his university doesn't like. So they are looking for ways to screw with him.But such nuance is irrelevant in The Forever Culture War Outrage Machine.
