Seems fair. Don't embarrass your professional body or they will sanction you and may even expel you.
Or it could be called "censoring critics via coercion"
[flagged]
any group that punishes criticism is destined for failure.

Censorship is something groups do, govts and beyond. When the govt requires you to be a member of an organization and that organization does these things, it's hard to argue your case that this is somehow devoid of govt connections

it's childish to call someone an idiot for having different opinions or beliefs, grow up

Question is, what do they do next? The training surely isn't going to change anything. He considers this kind of expression his bread and butter; they consider it professional misconduct.

Will they actually yank his license if he continues to engage in behavior that the licensing board consider unbecoming? And will a court uphold that?
