Cambridge University rescinds Jordan Peterson invitation

Cambridge University has rescinded its offer of a visiting fellowship to Jordan Peterson, the self-styled “professor against political correctness”, after a backlash from faculty and students.

Peterson, a psychology professor from Toronto who has courted controversy for his views on transgender rights, gender and race, announced on Monday via his YouTube channel that he was joining Cambridge for two months.

“In October I am going to Cambridge University in the UK for two months and I will be a visiting fellow there at the divinity school and should give me the opportunity to talk to religious experts of all types for a couple of months, as well as students,” he said. “It’s a thrill for someone academically minded ... to be invited there, to sit in and participate for a few months.”

The UK is lost anyway.

They have NO TIME left to rise up or vote in a real conservative.

No time. They need to do it like NOW.

There is nothing wrong with the UK that can be fixed by voting or the political process. That ship sailed decades ago.

Might I remind Cambridge University that it single-handedly turned out more Soviet spies in the 1930’s - 50’s than any other university in England.

Sit on that and rotate, you Marxist, pretentious bunch of fops, reds, and Third World losers.

I visited Cambridge back in October and ran into more arrogance there than one does in Massachusetts.
