Jordan Peterson says he has no intention of giving up his fight with Ontario's psychologist regulatory body, accusing the college of attempting to discipline him for his political opinions.
The case has also raised broader issues about freedom of expression and whether the college is overstepping its authority by penalizing the controversial psychologist for his opinions.
"There's no reason whatsoever for the College of Psychologists to try to stop him from expressing those views." In an email to CBC News, the college said it was not authorized to discuss Peterson's case due to confidentiality issues. "I deserve it. I earned it. I haven't done anything to justify suspending it, and I don't want to give the hyenas their bones."Last year, the college launched an investigation into Peterson after receiving public complaints about statements he had made on Twitter.
His tweet in response to a Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover of a plus-sized model, in which he said: "Sorry. Not Beautiful. And no amount of authoritarian tolerance is going to change that." Peterson's comments, the panel also concluded, "raise questions about Dr. Peterson's ability to carry out his responsibilities as a psychologist."
