Jordan Peterson drops tenured professorship, blasts ‘stunningly corrupt enterprise’
“Diversity, inclusion and equity” are destroying academia, the conservative author has warned
Canadian psychologist and author Jordan Peterson has announced he is resigning as a tenured professor at the University of Toronto, citing concerns with academia’s shift towards “Diversity, Inclusivity and Equity mandates,” which he appreciates as “DIE.” The abbreviated term is one of reasons behind Peterson’s resignation, which he announced in a Wednesday piece for the National Post.
“The appalling ideology of diversity, inclusion and equity is demolishing education and business,” Peterson wrote.
The now-former professor said he “loved” his job and students, but voiced frustration that his “qualified and supremely trained heterosexual white male graduate students … face a negligible chance of being offered university research positions, despite stellar scientific dossiers.”

Impossible-to-meet diversity and political correctness standards are affecting both students and fellow staff members. Peterson refers to himself as “persona non grata” in his field because of his “unacceptable philosophical positions.”
“How can I accept prospective researchers and train them in good conscience knowing their employment prospects to be minimal?” he wrote, later adding that his colleagues “must craft DIE statements” to get research grants today.
“They all lie,” he said of many modern professors, adding they “teach their students to do the same.”
“They do it constantly, with various rationalizations and justifications, further corrupting what is already a stunningly corrupt enterprise,” he added about many of his colleagues, blasting teachers for undergoing modern “so-called anti-bias training.”
Accrediting boards for Canadian graduate clinical psychology training programs will refuse accreditation programs unless they include a “social justice orientation,” according to Peterson.
“All of you going along with the DIE activists, whatever your reasons: this is on you,” he added. “Cowering cravenly in pretence and silence. Teaching your students to dissimulate and lie. To get along. As the walls crumble.”
In a lengthy thread later posted on Twitter, Peterson highlighted students and professors confirming his concerns about ‘wokeism’ standards destroying academic standards.

Sounds like he had decent reasons to take an early retirement from the position.

I wonder what other positions across all of the earth's employment fields will be filled by people not by their qualifications but by their skin/gender/other qualifications, and what the long term side effects of this will be.
Standards twisted and destroyed, surely there will be no detrimental effect right? 
This not even considering the negative mental / social effects.

It isn't clear what you reference as BS, those who will not argue against the logic Peterson displays?
...
Politicians in general are, as Carlin and Sam Clements noted, top sellers of the subject BS.

When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot. '

Tune in to Carlin's vid at the 10:30 mark to hear some hard truth, been that way for centuries.
lol !

So, that was our PM conversation, and I replied with this:
"I get your points, but still not clear on your opinion of what Peterson says. He isnt a politician."
Maybe ackowledging him as a Patriot?

Tried posting, was informed.
' The user is not a member. '
So, I answered in thread instead.
Sure, the now perceived fault, or, wrongness of the world, weirdness emanating from the conduits of power and sewers across the face of the planet.
The strange feelings, sleepwalking to global war is the result of the insane repetition of the same lies, desiring a different result, again.
Should Biden_Joe send the 6th fleet into the Black Sea, we will be the witnesses of the spark that lit WWIII, a limited exchange of nukes, as deterrents.
A few days, sooner than later, a great noise will rise from the press, seeking peace by subjugation, kow tow now.
Things are not looking good, something stinks around here. ( George Carlin )
Yeah, politicians that need immediate changing, like diapers, and for the same reason. ( Samuel Clements )
Petersen is a refreshing voice of reason and logic in a torrent of deception and false journalism, lies, actually.
Listening to truth, it is more pleasant than the mimicked consensus of marxist stooges, suggesting that you disarm.
Constitutionally defending your Nation will be the last great act of patriots, brave and free.

How is it legal to break the law in hiring practices?
When will they go back to enforcing it?
Companies are doing this by using "DE&I" to guide hiring, for example.
https://www.eeoc.gov/prohib...nt-policiespractices
" It is illegal to discriminate against someone (applicant or employee) because of that person's race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information.
..
It is illegal for an employer, employment agency or union to take into account a person's race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information when making decisions about job referrals.
..
It is illegal for an employer to publish a job advertisement that shows a preference for or discourages someone from applying for a job because of his or her race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information.
For example, a help-wanted ad that seeks "females" or "recent college graduates" may discourage men and people over 40 from applying and may violate the law.
It is also illegal for an employer to recruit new employees in a way that discriminates against them because of their race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information.
An employer may not base hiring decisions on stereotypes and assumptions about a person's race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information.
The law makes it illegal for an employer to make any employment decision because of a person's race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information. That means an employer may not discriminate when it comes to such things as hiring, firing, promotions, and pay. It also means an employer may not discriminate, for example, when granting breaks, approving leave, assigning work stations, or setting any other term or condition of employment - however small."

But yes, the fakenews has been and will always be accepted as gospel by the gullible.

Ideology is just fancy speak for the rich of the world creating teams to fight against each other for their little cockfighting ring. Everyone on this forum is a poor getting taken for a ride.

True. And sides are not unnecessary. There is no coming together of all people.
There is plenty of evil in the world. You don't try and bring it to your side.
There is plenty of evil enabling in this world. Those people and groups need to be sided against.
Corrupt people use evil itself and the evil (people) to fight dirty against the rest of us.
Media (MSM variety) is evil. National govs are controlled by evil people. Mayors, DAs and Chiefs of Police of large cities are controlled by the same evil people.[This message has been edited by sourmash (edited 02-08-2022).]
