The link above takes you to a well-written and fascinating article by Tom Bartlett in the Chronicle of Higher Education on the now extremely controversial Jordan Peterson. Thanks to John Davidson for pointing me to this article. 

Tom Bartlett found many he interviewed about Jordan Peterson unwilling to comment about on the record. This makes me worry greatly about the spread of guilt by association. Individuals should be held to account for things they say personally, but people should have a lot of leeway to hang out with--and even to say nice things about--individuals who have said arguably bad things.

Update: This post has sparked a vigorous and enlightening discussion on my Facebook page for it.
