Professors and college sued for saying psychologists was white supremacist and like Adolph Hitler

Washington Times:
Clinical psychologist and University of Toronto professor Jordan B. Peterson is using the legal system to send a “warning” to academics who liken him to “Adolf Hitler” and white supremacists.

Canada’s Wilfrid Laurier University was hit with a $1.5 million lawsuit by the bestselling author of “12 Rules for Life: An Antidote for Chaos,” due to the content of a viral video featuring its professors. Teaching assistant Lindsay Shepherd was disciplined for showing clips of the author’s debates on Canadian television.

“I think this is a warning, let’s say, to other careless administrators and professors who allow their ideological presuppositions to get the best of them to be a bit more careful with what they say and do,” Mr. Peterson told the Toronto Sun on Wednesday.
...
“The politically correct on campus should not think that they can defame people, slander people and bully people implicitly and explicitly with impunity,” Mr. Levitt said. “This isn’t just some internet troll mouthing off in a way that no one pays attention to and doesn’t give any credence to. These are professors and head of gender equity studies making comments that are atrocious about Dr. Peterson who is one of if not Canada’s most prominent intellectual.”
...
Levitt is Peterson's attorney.  Liberals have a tendency to throw around those kinds of insults to people with whom they disagree.  It is a continuing problem with any dialog with the left.  If they are not calling someone Hitler or the like, they are calling them racists, sexists, bigots, and homophobes.  They have trouble making reasoned arguments and substitute insults for logic.  There is more here.
