1. Academic freedom means a rightwing prof can say or teach whatever nutjob theories they want, and also means a leftwing prof can say or teach whatever nutjob theories they want.

2. So i say let all the wackjob rightwing and leftwing profs teach whatever they want, because just because they teach it that doesn't mean it's correct.
1. Incorrect.  That's incorrect for pretty much anybody - you can't ever express hate incitement without consequence, for example.

2. It's not about teaching - you don't have the 'freedom to teach'.  Peterson doesn't teach anymore, but he can't be "fired", ie. he will be employed and can publish.
