So the ‘formal re-education’ begins

I already feel sorry for the person chosen to re-educate JP.
Please let it all be filmed or audio recorded.

I think he'd likely re-educate his re-educator.

Ditto.

Can you imagine going into work and being told he was your next "project".

No "normal" person is going to want that job because you would know that it is going to become front and center in the whole debate and no matter what you do it will be wrong. And then you get a complaint and you get sent for re-education.

Fortunately, we don't have that here. I did spot the nettles, most of them 😳

did you spot that patch of poison ivy....

Free speech is free speech. You have to allow people whose views distress and repulse you to speak too, not just those in your comfortable bubble.

Challenge their views. Argue. Discuss. Ignore. Mute. Block.

All viable options for the individual.

And those bad people are still allowed opinions. And to publish them.

THAT is the point of free speech. It can't just be for your approved publications.

He will love Big Brother

For a moment there I thought you were proposing a subsequent TV career

😲 I wee'd in those bushes

He will love Big Brother

I was there hiding in the bushes

I've been up since before dawn, no bugger showed up! I'm going back to bed!

Then post up a better link

Or better still post up the sections of the article which contains the propaganda and explain how the section/ article is being used to push their agenda.

TRA are all about twisting the meanings of words and ideas. If you beleive that the people objecting to their aims are doing the same to achive a different outcome explain and educate the reader. Teach them to think about what they read and to not accept it or any article as gospel.

Ooh. Look, there it is!

That wasn't my point, and you know it.
Oh dear, another person who can read minds and knows what others are thinking... perhaps @AnSolas can go on the same social media re education programme and learn to do better.

Within the church-article is this link to The Financial Post. It is clickable, and a very good segment from a solicitor Expert appears. Recommended reading.

The Financial Post lamented, “The impact of this decision is to empower woke bodies everywhere to discipline members who express unpopular opinions that cause someone ‘offence.’”
They continue,
This decision will inevitably motivate political enemies of any member of a regulatory body — whether it be one of lawyers, osteopaths, engineers or, well, psychologists — who have no legal basis for any claim otherwise, to harass that person by filing complaints about their expressed opinions or writings.

Lamented is the clickable Word, possibly not in my C/p

That wasn't my point, and you know it.

This is literally like moaning it's not in the Guardian then posting an article from a Tommy Robinson-esque propaganda leaflet.. These are dangerous, awful people!

THAT is my point.

He's not going to make it easy for them, is he?

I'll actually really appreciate watching the process, I've no experience of HR or diversity people interfering in my head, no training, no rules beyond my own rules - it's my company, I can do what I damn well like within the law. The only place my words are censored is here on mumsnet.

With my feminist beliefs I don't like Jordan Petersen and I don't like the Canadian College of Psychologists of Ontario either. It's like King Kong vs. Godzilla, I don't care who loses as long as they all make a nice big spectacle of themselves. Though my money's on Jordan Petersen to win- he is knowledgeable, media-savvy and articulate and he will cast far more light on their confusion and prejudices than they will on his.

So bring out the biscuits - the good biscuits!

Canada has become a totalitarian state.

I find Jordan Peterson incredibly frustrating to listen to, especially in interviews. I don't think taking every observation of your interviewee and reimagining it through the lens of a religious narrative is particularly intelligent or profound. I know that's his bag but I'm not sure how it gained enough traction to make him such a popular Canadian? 😁

Anyway, clearly this is an outrageous infringement on his freedom and another step towards the dystopian future of right-think authoritarianism...but watching him shut down the re-education process by mangling every sentence of his re-educator into yet another painful analogy until they would willingly stick their own head in a blender will be highly entertaining.

Nope.

I don't know why people bother watching horror movies.

I've just watched the episode of Wolf Hall in which Thomas More is required to put his signature to an oath to avoid execution. Nothing changes does it?

I like JP too. He clearly deeply cares about people and is doing what he can to help them to improve their lives. He becomes genuinely distressed at human suffering.

When I have read his stuff the accusations against him haven’t held up and have misrepresented what he says to the point of lying.

The debate on how far inequality for women is due to social vs evolutionary factors is one I am happy to have. I don’t hold that against him.
