Cambridge University’s deplorable decision to withdraw its offer of a visiting fellowship to Jordan Peterson is yet more evidence that, contrary to time-honoured practice, students are now telling their teachers what to think and do. The abominable blizzard of snowflakes has university authorities frozen with fear, and winter is coming for free speech.
allisonpearson Am I the only one who sees the irony here?
allisonpearson Oh I have been silenced & sick of it, regardless I can express my self in a national newspaper; bastards.
allisonpearson 'I am sick of being silenced by social-justice warriors whose self-assurance is only matched by their ignorance' The cry of many Twitter users! You're an academic, dude defend yourself... In 140 characters! 😆😆
allisonpearson Again, from a column in a national newspaper, if only...
allisonpearson 'I've been silenced!' Shouts person from the pages of a national newspaper.
allisonpearson We are descending into a new form of totalitarianism, all we need is a Corbyn victory to bring back the gallows.
allisonpearson really?!!!
allisonpearson Ah but being a professor of psychology, who has different views on certain things than your students surely the argument could be made that they are sick of you and you are ignorant
allisonpearson Great telegraph looking both ways at once? They have an article and opinion piece about face book searching and destroying white supremacists. Some how people ear conservative, and I bet Prof Peterson is top of the list!
allisonpearson Ahhh diddums. Still at least you have the safe space of one of the worlds most read broadsheets to hide in. Maybe someone will hug it out with you.
allisonpearson Stop whining
allisonpearson How is someone writing in a broadsheet newspaper silenced?
allisonpearson Well the strap line sounds like it describes the ERG
allisonpearson This article hits every alt right buzz word in the first paragraph, I can't take it seriously. It reads like it was crowdsourced on 4chan 🤣
