The Facts
On Wednesday, Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson was denied judicial review of a decision by the College of Psychologists of Ontario, which ordered him to undergo social media training in the wake of complaints over his online postings.
The three-panel Divisional Court ruling said the order has "minimal impact" on Peterson's freedom of expression and was "reasonable," as the college had previously asked Peterson to adopt a more "respectful tone" online.
The Spin
Right narrative
This ruling wasn’t based on the law; it was political. If this decision stands, members of professional associations will be forced to give up their freedom of expression unless they agree with establishment points of view. Peterson should continue to fight this egregious overreach of authority.
Left narrative
Peterson is dragging psychology through the mud under the guise of protecting free speech. He has violated the psychologists’ standards of conduct while using his professional standing to lend an air of legitimacy to his attacks on members of marginalized groups. He should be held accountable.
