Should speaking biological truth be punished? In Canada, it is. A British Columbia human-rights tribunal ordered Barry Neufeld to pay damages for criticizing gender identity policies and stating that biological sex is immutable. The tribunal ruled his comments violated anti-discrimination laws and find Neufeld $750,000. The decision highlights a growing conflict between free expression and government enforcement of ideology. Citizens should be able to debate education policy and biological realities without facing legal penalties. Protecting individuals from harassment is important. But punishing the views and expression of widely held scientific views chills open debate. Some might say, well this is Canada. But support for similar punishments for failure to conform to ideological impositions like Canada’s can be found right here in Kentucky.
