Article here. Excerpt:

'Canadian psychologist Prof. Jordan Peterson shared his views on a University of Wisconsin-Whitewater professor's argument that “toxic masculinity” should be taught to children as early as kindergarten.

Kathleen Elliott argues in an issue of "On The Horizon," an academic journal, that there are "consequences of simplified, toxic forms of masculinity in schools and society."

Campus Reform reported that Elliott wrote that the media promotes “aspects of toxic masculinity such as physical strength, dominance, and heterosexual prowess.”

Peterson said that "you'd have to be a fool" to teach young children such a concept.
...
Peterson added that it's difficult to even define what "toxic masculinity" is.

"Where's the crisis?" he asked. "Why would we turn the education of our children over to idiot ideologues?"'

is the crisis? even w/ the constant handouts required to sustain the welfare state of perpetual victims we are seeing emerge, things are looking up, thanks to a prez who actually went to college, and who thoroughly understands how an economy is supposed to work.

'why would we turn the education system over to idiot ideologues?'

I think this guy missed reading the memo.
