A Wilfrid Laurier University teaching assistant has been identified as “transphobic” and sanctioned for last week showing her class an excerpt of a video debate involving the controversial University of Toronto psychology professor Jordan Peterson. “Am I supposed to comfort them?” she asked at one point, bewildered, and said it was antithetical to the spirit of a university. Rambukkana then informed her that since Bill C-16 was passed, even making such “arguments run(s) counter” to the law. Rambukkana asked her off the top if she wasn’t from the University of Toronto, and Shepherd said no. She was accepted to Wilfrid Laurier on a $4,500 graduate scholarship, in addition to her TA funding package.
