Jordan Peterson has a stunningly high “h-index,” a metric for measuring the quality of scientists beyond their publishing count. He taught at Harvard six years.
When he received his last five-year grant for work previously approved by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, a government agency, it was “the largest amount ever awarded to a psychologist,” the National Post reports.
But the veteran University of Toronto professor, who became a pariah last year for refusing to use gender-neutral pronouns such as “ze,” just coincidentally got his first rejection ever for a federal research grant:
“I think that it’s (the controversy) provided someone with a convenient opportunity to make their displeasure with what I’m doing known,” he told Postmedia in a recent phone interview. “I can’t shake the suspicion.”It wasn’t just the rejection, he said — it was the clownishly low ratings his application received, meaning the council’s critique was not “credible.” A spokesperson for the council said that “past funding is not a guarantee of further funding.” …

When are they going to burn the books in the college library that violate today’s political ‘slang’??
Their new MO is bullying people into pretending to be insane.
You mean the government is withholding money if you don’t do what they want? I am SHOCKED, just SHOCKED. Go for it Trump.
Canada is a frighteningly statist, politically correct, and conformist place.
The insane buffoons of the gender fluid want validation justly,e the perverted homosexuals.
It should not be given to them.
This man needs to come HERE and teach. Here is his youtube speech (part 1) description followed by the link. The guy is a prophet!
Sept 27/16: 1. Fear and the Law
“This is a one hour discussion of political correctness. It is the first of a planned three part series on the topic. Part I deals with the fear that PC types are producing, and the profound legal ramifications of their continual activism. Part II is a case study, assessing the PC-ification of the University of Toronto HR department.
“Part III is a description of what can be done at the individual level to oppose political correctness and its dangerously totalitarian aspirations.”

This needs to be fought vigorously. They make up nonsense words and force people to use them and penalize them of they don’t. The left has already taken control of and corrupted the language too much. Everyone needs to push back. In a sane world, these people would be laughed out of the room.
This need to not only be opposed, but ridiculed.
Imagine the trouble he’d be in if he used the neutral, “you people.”
I said it many times: Normal people saw 1984 as a warning, Liberals saw it as a how-to manual.
I cannot keep up with this nonsense. I think all people who are NORMAL should start protesting this garbage. How do you even pronounce "ze"? Z? Z-uh? What does it stand for? I am not an activist, so I have no idea what that means. He, she, it --- pretty much covers it. Why do we allow obviously mentally troubled individuals upset the entire society cohesion?
That’s exactly it, and ridicule is a good weapon. I remember listening to a radio program maybe 40 years ago and they were having a good-humored discussion about changing wordS to make the more inclusive. One listener called and asked what to do with a word like “horsemanship.” “Horsepersonship” sounds silly. How about “horseship”? The host ended the call before he could go further, but everyone got his point. Ridicule will be considered as hate and agreession by the left, but tough “ship.”
FWICS, “Ze” is pronounced like (and derived from) German “Sie”, but it’s supposed to be “gender-neutral”.
Stuff like that is hardly mainstream, even though the media is trying to dictate it to us.
