Academic Lawfare

Academic and author Jordan Peterson is suing Wilfred Laurie University for defamation:

We're no lawyer, but this sounds pretty defamatory to us:

University of Toronto Professor Jordan Peterson has launched a $1.5-million defamation suit against Wilfrid Laurier University, two of its professors and a former gender and equity manager for suggesting he was “analogous to Adolf Hitler.”

Also:

Shepherd was disciplined during the meeting for showing students a TV clip of Peterson discussing gender-neutral pronouns, something the university later apologized for, but Peterson told the Toronto Sun Wednesday he believes the university failed to properly respond to the incident.

Ms. Shephard is no longer at WLU and says she cannot find academic work elsewhere. She is also suing WLU. Good for her.

The four minute video at the link is worth the watch. In it, Professor Lindsey Shephard defends herself against an unholy troika of college bureaucrats, freaks, weirdoes and other assorted pustules.

Let's just say we know how Ms. Shephard feels.

This is the Jordan Peterson moment, he is world famous and having a yuge impact. This lawsuit will bring much unwanted attention to Wilfred Laurie University.

We hope Peterson sues them back into the stone age. 

Free Speech or Die

We believe in free speech here at WilliamStroock.blogsot.com. That goes for us normies and for the most despicable and deranged weirdos.

Over the last decade or so the forces of evil have subtly, but consistently campaigned against free speech in the name of tolerance and niceness. Even the Islamist governments have gotten in on the act, pushing for a so called 'human dignity' resolution at the UN against criticism of religion. Bastards.

Anyhoo here are some of our favorite free speech moments by our facorite free speech warriors.

1: Christopher Hitchens (PBUH) really lets MP Shirley Williams have it over Salman Rushdie:

2: Mark Steyn defends free speech in Australia and explains it all. Remember, in Britain a musician was arrested for playing Kung Fu Fighting:

3: Ezra Levant confronts the Canadian Human Rights Commission over their persecution of himself for publishing the dread cartoons of blasphemy. Levant wields his rhetorical sword against his persecutor like Conan the Barbarian in the final battle against the snake cult. It is glorious:

 Quoth Levant, 'I reserve the right to publish it for whatever offensive reason I want!' Damn straight.

4: Jordan Peterson on the practicality of free speech and why even people with the most despicable ideas should say them:
