Of course the Left wants to muzzle people who disagree with their agenda:
The College of Psychologists of Ontario, which has embraced radical gender theory in recent years, has threatened to remove Peterson’s clinical psychology license over his social media activity if he did not go through a so-called “specified continuing education or remedial program.”
…and unsurprisingly, the Canucki courts (another bunch of Stalinists) has sided with these assholes:
On Wednesday, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice ordered Peterson to pay $25,000 to the College of Psychologists and upheld the order that he go through a social media education program.
Also unsurprisingly, Jordan Peterson has told them to fuck off, in his polite manner.
Here’s my thought on the matter. If there’s some wealthy conservative tycoon out there who wants to put his money where it will do a lot of good, he should announce the endowment of a Department of Modern Psychology at, say, Hillsdale College, to be headed by Dr. Jordan Peterson.
Why Hillsdale?
Regular Readers of this website know my philosophy about education. It is based on the principles of Albert Jay Nock, which can be summarized as follows: “Educate only those who are receptive to being educated, instead of trying to educate everybody.”
Kids who attend Hillsdale College are likely to be conservative (or at least their parents are), and Peterson’s teachings are more likely to be appreciated and reinforced by their receptive audience.
From a practical perspective, this would take Peterson away from the toxic College of Psychologists of Ontario and still-more toxic Canadian environment, put him in a position which encourages his thinking and analysis, and would create a platform for his message. Also, Peterson would be forever immune to censure and “re-education” (a.k.a. psychological bullying).
In the long run, this would be far more effective than contributing to Chris Christie’s doomed presidential election bid.
Just a thought.
Free speech isn’t a thing in the United States either anymore.
Used to be a civil matter to state untrue things. Like, hey, some dude with Dementia won a rigged election. Not a crime to say that. The big guy could file a slander and libel suit if he had proof my statement was false.
Now, if you say an election is rigged, you get 4 criminal indictments and the media drags your name through the mud.
If you work for a college or other liberal infested business, and if you speak your mind, prepare to get fucked with big time.
The ultimate hypocrisy is this my body my choice bullshit. The liberals women’s want to euthenize unborn babies, they say it is their “right” because it is their “body”.
I however, did not have the my body my choice right, when it came to the CONvid, I mean Covid vaccine… I was told get this (experimental) glob of shit in a needle, or get fired.
I needed my job so I did it.
If they pull that shit again, I might just let them fire me and go work pouring coffees at moon dollars for 18 bucks and hour, or some other mindless job that pays tons of money thanks to the inflation caused by the Big guy.
Freedom of speech is long gone in many places, and the commies are trying to root out more.
“Also, Peterson would be forever immune to censure and “re-education” (a.k.a. psychological bullying).”

You know better than that. This toxic communist poisoning is going on everywhere all the time with no basis in reality.
Until heads start getting torn off at the base of the neck, and families of perps are slaughtered wholesale it will most likely continue.
The pendulum needs to swing the other way and a whole bunch of parasitic bodies need to no longer be stealing air. The burnoff will be glorious.
I commented on one of Peterson’s tweets about this that he ought to appeal, but agree to take the training pending appeal.
Then record it – video and audio, and maybe even live-stream the whole farrago.
He’ll be able to make the trainer and the training look like the asshole fools they are.
A little off topic, but not really – Coach fired for saying biological men can outperform women in sports
https://www.thecollegefix.com/coach-fired-for-saying-biological-men-can-outperform-women-in-sports-lawsuit/
I think this bullshit first appeared on my radar 20-ish years ago when Serena Williams had set some major record. NPR had John McEnroe on as the expert commentator to weigh in on it. During the interview, McEnroe called Williams the greatest women’s player of all time. NPR’s woke host said “Why call her the greatest women’s player? Why not just the greatest player?” McEnroe replied “Because she’s not. She couldn’t beat the 800th ranked player on the men’s side.”
It instantly became a ridiculous fabricated made-up controversy, & McEnroe took a ton of heat for it. SW got sucked into the drama & gave an interview where she made it clear she didn’t completely agree with McEnroe. She said she probably could beat the 800th ranked male player, but definitely not the 100th ranked. She said in the same interview she had a hard time playing against her male coach, and he’s not even a pro. He’s a… coach. She went on to say that given the physical disparities, she wasn’t so sure it could be said men & women were even playing the same game.
The U of Penn named 6’4″ Will Thomas its NCAA woman of the year last year, proving than men can do everything better than women – including being a woman.
One of the closing scenes in Orwell’s 1984 depicts the protagonist Winston Smith, who is finally betrayed and is now being tortured by the Ministry of Truth. Their objective is to force him to proclaim as truth something he knows to be a lie. It forces the reader to ask why – why not just kill him and be done with it; why spend the time, effort & angst on the charade? Because the charade is the point. The lie is what it’s all about. The measure of absolute power isn’t life or death. It’s controlling what people think; dictating what we’re permitted to consider & the conclusions we’re allowed to reach. The rainbow jihad and its willing sycophants don’t give a flying fuck about the absolutely CATASTROPHIC rates of suicidality among trans youth. Launching your kids off that cliff is a price they’re ecstatic to make you pay, in return for mainstreaming their delusion and depravity.
So let it be written, so let it be done. Amen. And Awoman.
The ruling is appalling, and I largely disagree with Peterson when it comes to his stance on transgender people (unsurprising, as he effectively claims transgender people don’t exist, which would mean I don’t exist).
The ruling is appalling not because of Peterson’s opinions which got him in trouble with his colleagues, but because the college and the court applied the college’s guidelines for professional behaviour when practicing or representing the college to private communications. And the court going so far as to claim that censuring Peterson was a result of Peterson having freedom of speech…
The main statements that got him in trouble btw aren’t the statements he made about transgender people, but his criticism of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
I’ve watched dozens if not hundreds of his youtube videos and in none does he claim to make any statement he makes in his professional capacity. This should mean none of those statements can be reason for censure under standards of professional behaviour.
But that’s what we’ve sunk to as western society, which is of course the exact way Stalin, Mao, and Hitler got to their opponents.
Wait… what? Are you saying you are trans?
Or are you just being sarcastic?
Identifying as one or the other, this week.
Which species of changeling do you think this thing “identifies” as:
1 – chick with a dick?
2 – snatch with a snap on?
I myself identify as a toaster and I am attracted to gluten filled bread.
After years of suppressing the true me, it is with great relief and gratitude that I herald the cultural climate bestowed upon us by the Holy Church of Woke. It has liberated my spirit, and enabled me to come clean without fear of reprisal or persecution. I know I’ll find nothing but compassion and support here at KDT’s crib. I am thrilled to announce that I now identify as a non-binary transexual platypus, and I insist that you address me using my preferred pronouns: Spectacular and Well-Endowed.
Thank you all so much.
Well then, Platypus – Spectacular / Well-Endowed.
Let’s get some LOX (Since Platypus are meat eaters USUALLY), but in case you are VEGAN, we can get some non meat fish, and well split it up, you can eat some fish, and ill spread some lox on the toast.
We could try to understand these changeling freak trannies, but I am not sure we can fit our heads that far up our asses.
“I’ve watched dozens if not hundreds of his youtube videos and in none does he claim to make any statement he makes in his professional capacity. ”
uhhh, DUH!
Do you go to your WORK and speak your mind all the way and totally? Good way to get fired!
These liberals are going after Peterson for his statements OUTSIDE of work… What do you think would happen if he said this stuff at work?
Not the brightest bulb there, are you? Maybe that is why you are confused about the simplest of things, such as PENIS vs VAGINA.
I watched dozens of YouTube hours of Doctor Peterson.
I think he makes valid points about the distinction, the historical roles, of males versus females.
Based on my experience, I think he offers complete and thoughtful sound-bytes…
… to reinforce my circular beliefs.
.
At no point does anything he say inspire me to examine my beloved beliefs, because my BBs are straightforward and clear.
And Epstein isn’t a suicide.
Can’t we send the nuts with ARs to these “professional” organizations that trample on our rights to free speech?
