This story is the second part in a series from a candid conversation Dr. Jordan Peterson had with Fox News Digital. Read the first part here. Canadian psychologist and best-selling author Dr. Jordan Peterson vowed to keep speaking his unfiltered opinion despite a court order to attend sensitivity training following complaints over his social media posts.
Peterson said it appears he will have to undergo the training after all, but he still plans on appealing again. If that fails, he said he will continue to be as defiant and vocal as he ever was on these topics. 'My feet are being held to the fire, let's say, by the Ontario College of Psychologists. Well, right now their plan is to re-educate me,' he said. 'However, I've taken legal action to forestall that. I lost the first appeal.
Peterson told Fox News Digital that sitting through the training is the 'most likely outcome.' 'The clear plan of the Ontario College of Psychologists is to destroy my reputation and to take my license,' he said. 'That's their plan, clearly, clearly. They continue to bring up charges against me. So they haven't backed off in the least.' The psychologist also said he finds the entire process annoying, calling it 'super expensive' and 'a waste of time.
Fundamentally, I'm not concerned about it because there's nothing they can really do to me,' Peterson said. 'You know, I'm not practicing as a clinical psychologist. I don't have clients. And so, I'm not financially dependent on the designation.' 'And truly, I'm so appalled by my colleagues and their cowardice in the face of the gender-affirming care idiocy that it isn't even a club I want to belong to,' he continued.
