Ontario court rules against Jordan Peterson, upholds social media re-education

An Ontario court has ruled against controversial psychologist Jordan Peterson Wednesday, upholding a regulatory body's order that he undergo social media training.

Last November, Peterson, a professor emeritus with the University of Toronto psychology's department who is also an author and media commentator, was ordered by the College of Psychologists of Ontario to undergo a coaching program on professionalism in public statements.

That followed numerous complaints to the governing body of Ontario psychologists, of which Peterson is a member, regarding his online commentary directed at politicians, a plus-sized model, and transgender actor Elliot Page, among other issues. You can read more about those social media posts here.
