Jordan Peterson crushed like an insolent fly by panel of judges

[mandrill]

TORONTO — An Ontario court has ruled against controversial psychologist Jordan Peterson, upholding a regulatory body's order that he undergo social media training.
Last November, Peterson, who is also an author and media commentator, was ordered by the College of Psychologists of Ontario to undergo a coaching program on professionalism in public statements.
That followed numerous complaints to the governing body of Ontario psychologists, of which Peterson is a member, regarding his online commentary directed at politicians, a plus-sized model and transgender actor Elliot Page, among other issues.
The college's complaints committee concluded his controversial public statements could amount to professional misconduct and ordered the social media coaching program – failure to comply could mean the loss of his licence to practice psychology in the province.


Peterson filed for a judicial review, arguing his political commentary is not under the college's purview.
The Ontario Divisional Court has dismissed Peterson's application, ruling that the college's decision falls within its mandate to regulate the profession in the public interest and does not affect his freedom of expression.
Peterson, a retired University of Toronto psychology professor, rose to prominence through his polarizing YouTube videos critiquing liberal culture and his successful self-help book, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos.

Social media training lmao

 

[Mr Deeds]

The only social media training that's needed is how to stay off social media

Social media training lmao

Well, he's got a choice. He can either learn how to conduct himself like a professional. Or he can surrender his licence.

What he is going to do is grift crowd funding to fund assinine, time-waste appeals. And use this to raise his standing and profile in far right circles. And then simply toss his licence and earn far more money doing the far right talk circuit and telling people about eating meat and hating anyone who doesn't share your beliefs.

What ever happened to free thought, free expression and common sense.

This is one of the worst things about the left and wokism. They want everyone to be mute bobble heads. Our way or the highway. The world is quick becoming its own worst enemy.

As long as it doesn’t cross over into hate speech. Shut it.

And frankly when it does blow, whether it’s a class war ( my expectation, we are certainly heading there) and greed ( see a song) or stuff like this. “You made the bed”.

Yes, why do they stop doctors from having their own free thought and prescribing enemas for writers block, cigarettes for vitality, hydrochoriquine for nice hair and orange goo for a nice complexion.
What is this world coming to.

He can say whatever the fuck he wants. He just can't continue as a member of his profession.

If an attorney says "that judge can suck my dick because she's a dumb whore!", you think he gets to continue to be a lawyer?!

 

[Not getting younger]

Who made you god?

I’m assuming you’re a professional too. Expressing some pretty strong opinions here…….

 

[Not getting younger]

Had to hit enter.
Freud. Pretty outspoken too wasn’t he?
Nietzsche…
Soooooooooooo many others

“God”
The entire point arguably of democracy, is the freedom to make our own choices, think and say as we want…within certain limits. Is it not?

Yes, but why does JP have to get social media training from two leftist woke loser lawyer/psychologists, who can keep billing Jordan, until they see fit. These 2 women social media trainers, know nothing about social media!!

And it is these 2 women who are responsible for writing the college a report, if Jordan can keep his psych license or not?? Sounds shady to me!!

Hopefully that will teach him a lesson.

But we both know that he can bank way more by being defiant and playing to the far right interview circuit. He won't do what the College tells him to do.

That I kind of agree with. I certainly don’t agree with everything he says, some I do.

While he is a professional as am I. What he says/does outside his profession is none of the colleges beeswax. Until it breaks a law deemed as acceptable by society. Sadly in this woke world, that seems to have been forgotten.

Others are free to disagree, express their own thoughts…freedom, what a wonderful thing/concept.

Social media training lmao

Peterson is very good at social media.
He makes a lot of money off it.
He doesn't need training there.

But that's the official hoop he has to jump or fail before the next step can be taken.

 

[Valcazar]

Their argument is that the things they are specifically reprimanding him for are inside the profession and the court apparently agreed.

Two things.
Was he saying them to clients in sessions? In which case they are forced to listen. Which side presently would you say the courts are on.

/points at oh so much. I’ll start with a revolving door justice system. HRTC decisions at times that are just inexplicable And a woke world that prefers mute bobbleheads.
