Jordan Peterson is suing Wilfrid Laurier University for defamation because faculty criticized him in a meeting
Author Summary
completely-ineffable is in Jordan
Post Body

Link to the Toronto Star article about it.

Dr. Free Speech is mad. He's mad that other academics compared him to Hitler, called him a charlatan and academically suspect, and compared his views to transphobic, homophobic, sexist, and racist views. (Some context: one, two, three.) Because of this, he wants the university to compel the speech of these faculty, to the tune of a 1.5 million dollar lawsuit. (He really needs the money to fund his increasingly expensive taste in suits.)

Let's hope he gets shut down, lest this be revealed as an effective tactic to silence criticism.


The moratorium is lifted for this thread (and this thread alone). An attack on the academy warrants visibility.
