In this episode, we delve into the recent bans at Peterson Academy from the perspective of expelled students Frankie and Dusty.
The Peterson Academy is an online academic platform co-founded by Canadian psychologist and author Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and his daughter, Mikhaila Fuller (previously Peterson), who has the role of CEO of Peterson Academy. In our conversation, we discuss what led Frankie and Dusty to Peterson Academy, what their early impressions were, how tensions started to rise, and how that eventually led to the expulsion of many students, and the growing fear of speaking out for some who stayed behind.
Join us for an open, honest conversation about the Peterson Academy, the decisions its leadership made, and what the impact on the community was.
Thank you for listening.
UPDATE:
A few hours after this podcast episode was published, I was also banned. So while watching this episode, you’ll hear me say that I still remain, but it is good to know that this is now no longer the case.
