I loved my job. And my students, undergraduates and graduates alike, were positively predisposed toward me,\u201d Peterson said. \u201cBut that career path was not meant to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Peterson voiced frustration that his \u201cqualified and supremely trained heterosexual white male graduate students\u2026 face a negligible chance of being offered university research positions, despite stellar scientific dossiers\u201d thanks to diversity mandates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese have been imposed universally in academia, despite the fact that university hiring committees had already done everything reasonable for all the years of my career, and then some, to ensure that no qualified \u2018minority\u2019 candidates were ever overlooked,\u201d he wrote. \u201cMy students are also partly unacceptable precisely because they are my students. I am academic persona non grata, because of my unacceptable philosophical positions. And this isn\u2019t just some inconvenience. These facts rendered my job morally untenable. How can I accept prospective researchers and train them in good conscience knowing their employment prospects to be minimal?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Peterson pointed to other trends destroying academia \u201cand, downstream, the general culture\u201d \u2014 including the end of objective testing and \u201cgrievance studies\u201d disciplines. He also observed that colleagues must bow to diversity mandates by crafting \u201cDIE statements\u201d to obtain research grants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey all lie (excepting the minority of true believers) and they teach their students to do the same. And they do it constantly, with various rationalizations and justifications, further corrupting what is already a stunningly corrupt enterprise,\u201d he mourned. \u201cSome of my colleagues even allow themselves to undergo so-called anti-bias training, conducted by supremely unqualified Human Resources personnel, lecturing inanely and blithely and in an accusatory manner about theoretically all-pervasive racist\/sexist\/heterosexist attitudes. Such training is now often a precondition to occupy a faculty position on a hiring committee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The problem extends far beyond the University of Toronto. <\/p>\n<p>Peterson said that the accrediting boards for Canadian graduate clinical psychology training programs \u201care now planning to refuse to accredit university clinical programs unless they have a \u2018social justice\u2019 orientation.\u201d Also referring to Canada\u2019s \u201cconversion therapy\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/revival-and-reformation-is-needed-canadian-pastors-sound-off-on-new-law-that-threatens-to-criminalize-evangelism\">ban<\/a>, Peterson said that the practice of clinical psychology is effectively \u201cdoomed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Peterson admonished executives, professors, and others capitulating to wokeness and permitting its advance in Western culture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd all of you going along with the DIE activists, whatever your reasons: this is on you,\u201d he warned. \u201cCowering cravenly in pretence and silence. Teaching your students to dissimulate and lie. To get along. As the walls crumble. For shame. CEOs: signalling a virtue you don\u2019t possess and shouldn\u2019t want to please a minority who literally live their lives by displeasure. You\u2019re evil capitalists, after all, and should be proud of it. At the moment, I can\u2019t tell if you\u2019re more reprehensibly timid even than the professors. Why the hell don\u2019t you banish the human resource DIE upstarts back to the more-appropriately-named Personnel departments, stop them from interfering with the psyches of you and your employees, and be done with it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMusicians, artists, writers: stop bending your sacred and meritorious art to the demands of the propagandists before you fatally betray the spirit of your own intuition,\u201d he continued. \u201cStop censoring your thought. Stop saying you will hire for your orchestral and theatrical productions for any reason other than talent and excellence. That\u2019s all you have. That\u2019s all any of us have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe who sows the wind will reap the whirlwind.
