Originally Published 2 years ago — by Fox News
An Ontario court has upheld an order for Canadian psychologist and author Dr. Jordan Peterson to undergo "social media training" over controversial posts he made on platforms like Twitter. The College of Psychologists of Ontario had claimed that some of Peterson's posts could be viewed as professional misconduct and requested that he take a social media training course. Peterson filed a legal complaint against the college, arguing that they do not have control over his political commentary. However, the court dismissed his complaint, stating that the college's order falls under its responsibility to protect the profession of psychology in the public arena. Peterson has vowed to comply with the training but will make the process public, asserting that he believes he has done nothing wrong.
