We are deeply disappointed that Arts Commons has made the unconscionable decision to support Petersons’ values by virtue of hosting this talk...As Arts Commons continually hosts a broad and diverse intersection of audiences and artists, we ask you to consider the impact of your decision to present this talk.

Holy ####ing disconnect.

Hosting Peterson’s talk, and by extension endorsing his ideas... In hosting Peterson for a talk, Arts Commons is wholly complicit in such transgressions...Giving space and credence to ideas such as those held by Peterson undermines so much of the work that we do daily to strive for equality and justice not only in our communities, but in Calgary, and in Canada, at large.

It's pretty shocking if the people signing this letter don't see how hypocritical it is.
"We support diversity and equality, as long as your views don't differ from ours."
