In Canada, that land of light and color ruled by good and rainbows, they are one step ahead in what in the rest of the West we are beginning to notice as a rise in intransigence with political ideas alien to the system. To the clinical psychologist and university professor Jordan Peterson they have sent him to one compulsory re-education due to his political opinions, of a conservative nature and far from being ultras. This has been ruled by an Ontario court, which agrees with the College of Psychologists: if Peterson refuses to re-educate himself, then he will have to say goodbye to his license to practice the profession. This public humiliation of an intellectual who does not agree with systemic ideas and discusses them is an alarm: we have to flee in terror in the opposite direction to certain redemptive ideas that today are sold as progress.
Peterson was nothing more than a Canadian professor and psychologist who became known throughout the world when opposed enforcing a law that required teachers to use the pronouns of their students’ choice. He justified his decision by remembering that freedom of expression is a right and that they could not force anyone to use incorrect and capricious grammar. He also assured that he intended to treat all of his students with the same respect, but here everyone was already screaming. The scandal made Peterson a well-known gentleman and an idol of a certain right. He maintained a certain elegance and liked to argue. He was seen in hostile interviews with feminists from which he came out alive and even argued in public with Slavoj Zizek on stage. It was a stimulating conversation.
