Jordan Peterson's Appeal Denied in Controversial Tweet Case by Ontario College of Psychologists
Dr. Jordan Peterson has lost his appeal against the College of Psychologists of Ontario's directive to undergo social media training following complaints about his controversial tweets. The Ontario court ruled that the training was within the college's mandate to regulate the profession and did not infringe on Peterson's freedom of expression. The Canadian Constitution Foundation, which defended Peterson, expressed disappointment and argued that professionals should not have to censor their speech for fear of regulatory bodies penalizing unpopular opinions. Peterson has been ordered to pay the college's legal costs and expressed his intention to retain his license while standing by his statements.
