Politically Incorrect Professor Gets Denied Grant Funding
A professor who opposes political correctness and refuses to use gender-neutral pronouns was denied research grant funding.
Professor Jordan Peterson of the University of Toronto, who has recently sparked controversy for opposing social justice initiatives, was denied research grant funding, according to his Twitter account.
For the 1st time in my career, my research grant funding was denied. I was near the top of every other application cycle.

“This was the money that would have funded my research into the personality predictors of political correctness (and liberalism/conservatism),” noted Peterson in a subsequent Friday tweet.
