Jordan Peterson criticizes the ‘woke’ education system for failing to inspire and guide students.
Author and former psychology professor Jordan Peterson on the demoralizing education system
“If you set up an education system that’s designed to do nothing more than demoralize young people and to convince them that their ambition is dangerous, and even world-threatening for that matter — a manifestation of patriarchal oppression on the social front and then a danger to the survival of the planet on the natural front… And you don’t do anything to foster that ambition and to channel it into a manner that might be productive, and to tell young people why their ambition might be useful, then you’re going to get exactly that.”

According to Peterson, the established standard for training teachers perpetuates the production of ill-prepared and “woke” educators.
“You have to be trained in a faculty of education to become a teacher. Why? They’re the most woke element of the entire rotten university carcass, and they have the hammerlock on 50% of the state budget… You know, conservatives are always complaining about the culture war. Well, you handed all the young people to the faculties of education, right? Their research is terrible – it’s low-rate. Their students are generally very incompetent, comparatively speaking, on the academic front. It’s foolish, and this is the outcome. It’s not surprising.”
Peterson emphasizes the need for the education system to provide students with “visionary discipline” and direction for their future.

“That’s all you have to do if you want to motivate young people is to teach them a bit of visionary discipline and encourage it… We do the opposite of that, plus we terrify them, trigger warnings. We tell them everything is dangerous.”
Peterson’s research on the “Future Authoring” program has shown that when young people have a vision for their future and a sense of direction in life, their dropout rate was lowered by 50%, and their grade point average was raised by 35%.
