So the CBC tackled this controversial issue today in its typically hard-hitting and even-handed manner by inviting three far left professors to express their feelings on freedom of speech on campus.

The consensus - angry white men are threatened by women and people of colour attending university. Glad we cleared that up in such an academically and intellectually rigorous manner.
The funniest part is when the host says a lot of professors were reluctant to come on the air and talk about the issue of freedom of expression on campus, and all three of the far left professors assume that it was leftist professors who were at risk from sticking their necks out.
I wonder if the Current's producers really think this sort of group-hug segment achieves their mandate as a public broadcaster? I mean, if they genuinely want to promote dialogue on the issue, why not have people with different points of view on to contest them on the air? Why not facilitate genuine intellectual debate? Why not - okay, this might sound crazy - invite Peterson himself on to debate the issue with people who disagree with him? If his positions are intellectually fraudulent or untenable, surely that will be exposed in open debate.
