Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Heather Mac Donald break down her new book, “When Race Trumps Merit,” detailing how the West has bizarrely adopted discriminatory practices in our institutions all in the name of wokeness.

Mac Donald received a BA from Yale University, an MA from Cambridge University, and a JD from Stanford University.
