Penguin Random House Canada staff reportedly cry after news of Jordan Peterson book

Employees at Penguin Random House Canada were reportedly besieged by their emotions after finding out the company will publish Dr. Jordan Peterson's book Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life in March 2021.

Peterson's book, which follows up where his bestseller 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos left off, caused consternation at the publisher, with several employees becoming emotionally overwhelmed at the prospect of the company releasing it, according to four staff members.

"Several employees cried at the meeting discussing how Peterson's views have negatively impacted their lives," VICE's Manisha Krishnan, who first reported the story, tweeted on Tuesday. "One told me: 'He is an icon of hate speech and transphobia and the fact that he’s an icon of white supremacy... I’m not proud to work for a company that publishes him.'"

The employees gathered for what was described as an "emotional town hall" on Monday, during which staff members were allegedly “crying in the meeting about how Jordan Peterson has affected their lives."

Peterson is a University of Toronto professor who rose to international prominence as a vocal critic of the Canadian government's Bill C-16, which sought to establish "gender identity or expression" as a prohibited ground of discrimination under the Canadian Human Rights Act. Peterson objected on the grounds that the law could force him to address a transgender student by his or her preferred pronoun or else be faced with prosecution under human rights laws.

The bill passed and became law in 2017.

Penguin Random House Canada said it was open to hearing the opinions of its staff but did not commit to scrapping the publication.

“We announced yesterday that we will publish Jordan Peterson’s new book Beyond Order this coming March," the statement read. "Immediately following the announcement, we held a forum and provided a space for our employees to express their views and offer feedback. Our employees have started an anonymous feedback channel, which we fully support. We are open to hearing our employees’ feedback and answering all of their questions. We remain committed to publishing a range of voices and viewpoints."

Peterson's book will be published by Portfolio in the United States and Portfolio Press in the United Kingdom, both subsidiaries of the Penguin Random House company.

My god leftism is a disease at best and religion at worst

[ltsOgre]

His book should be banned for hate speech.

[fitnessislife]

His book should be banned for hate speech.

Communists should be launched into the sun.

[MilkforBrains]

He will only debate dummy wage gap chit. He has never ever dealt with attacks on his positions from Nationalists and point-blank refused to answer a question about Solzhenitsyn's views on the Jews. Keith Woods had a good video about him today.

[Mr.Roarke]

this cant be real tea

[Mark1T]

this cant be real tea

It's a very sad, but real example of Group Think where if one of them cries, the other follow along. Sort of like COVID in an enclosed area.

[Avalanche3319]

Brb, pre-ordering now.

[Skwidward]

I’m a “Liberal”

Been a fan of Jordan Peterson since I heard him on Sam Harris’ podcast speaking out against the gender pronoun law controversy in Canada.

[frankdtank20]

Gotta love how they just tie him to anything negative because he has utterly destroyed superstitions they paid a lot of money to believe in. From what I can see, for every blue haired land whale upset that he has another book coming out there are a handful of men who've repaired relationships with their families, gotten out of their parents' basement, and definitely several that he has saved from suicide.

[A-GAME]

These people should be institutionalized srs. And if the resources were there, I'm sure they would be srs. Imagine being so mentally weak that someone as liberal as JP makes you cry. These people are mentally ill lmao.

helicopter?

[frankdtank20]

helicopter?

It's a killing commies reference.

I just can't imagine how these weak *******s made it this far in life without necking themselves.

Lol people who have never read his work or listened to his content on YouTube claiming he’s some sort of monster. It’s beyond pathetic to be so ignorant when knowledge and understanding is at your fingertips.

[rhadam]

LMAO wut? Not sure if srs or horribly misinformed. I’m going with the latter.

[whogotmuhbeers]

I just can't imagine how these weak *******s made it this far in life without necking themselves.

They’ve never been told no and were made to believe that people give a shyt about their opinions.

Their “special”

[TwoHumpChump]

It's a killing commies reference.

From where?

[BullittEV]

Can any leftists please explain how Jordan Peterson is a white supremacist? How are these people really making that claim? wtf lmao

[tbonestake]

I’m a liberal and a fan of JP. He’s helped me a lot since I started listening to him. Couldn’t imagine calling him a bigot.

[Mark1T]

Can any leftists please explain how Jordan Peterson is a white supremacist? How are these people really making that claim? wtf lmao

Similar to any black conservative being called an 'Uncle Tom,' any white person who is not a liberal, is called a white supremacist and racist. Complete ignorance.

Smooth-brain mentality.

This. Libs use this labeling technique everywhere so that they can avoid actual discussion of the subject matter because they know their side is void of any fact or reason. It's all emotionally driven.

Take any topic and they deflect using inflammatory labels

Any solution that isn't full amnesty and open borders?: Racist
Not giving kids hormone blockers: Transphobic bigot

It's their way of censoring everyone for fear that their followers might actually wake up to the fact that theyve been fed bs for all these years.

[RobParks2M]

He's white and he speaks frankly.

Most crying libs want full on socialism and the destruction of the western world. No one understands why they want to destroy the very mechanisms that keep them alive, but I guess they value their own lives so little they don't mind dying if it kills more people.

[sooby]

apparently being white and promoting personal responsibility/control of your own life means you are a white supremacist in 2020.
