Clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson had his day in court on June 21, challenging the censure of his social media posts by his professional regulator, the College of Psychologists of Ontario.

The college’s disciplinary committee decided Nov. 22, 2022, that Peterson must take remedial training “regarding professionalism in public statements” in light of comments he made on a range of social and political issues on Twitter and on the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast.
