Quote:Jordan Peterson, the controversial Canadian psychologist, lost his bid to overturn an order from his professional regulatory college to complete a social-media coaching program in response to a series of complaints about his online posts.
In a decision released by Ontario’s Divisional Court on Wednesday, Justice Paul Schabas wrote that the College of Psychologists of Ontario “adequately and reasonably” considered Dr. Peterson’s online statements in the context of its mandate to “regulate the profession in the public interest.”
The college’s requirement that Dr. Peterson complete a specified continuing education or remedial program, or SCERP, has “a minimal impact on his right to freedom of expression” and strikes the right legal balance between upholding his rights as well as the professional standards of his regulatory body, Justice Schabas wrote.
The governing body of psychology in Ontario ordered Peterson to attend a re-education program or lose his certification.
He challenged in court and lost.
Peterson didn't take it too well as evidenced by some of his tweets, uh, I mean his X's.
Here's The Saad Truth about the decision.
If he's able to pull it off, I look forward to Peterson's video of the training program. I wonder how close it will mirror the video above.
