Confirmation Bias by Kersley Peters is a story about the shocking false accusations of assault brought by two students against him while an elementary school teacher. The story explores the devastating consequences of false accusations and their profound impact on individuals, especially when swiftly sanctioned by the ‘Court of Public Opinion’. The story is also about the power of truth, resilience, and the tumultuous journey of Mr. Peters from accusation to vindication in a court of law. Dr. Peters juxtaposes his life before the incident and what his world consisted of after the incident with compelling transparency.
This gripping conclusion is that we may all be guilty of Confirmation Bias at sometime or another. This is a more common phenomenon than we may have previously thought. A bold challenge to explore prevailing falsely constructed narratives is explored. Here’s an opportunity to change them.
The narrative woven by Dr Peters in this book, is not merely a recounting of events; it is a testament to the indomitable human spirit in the face of adversity”.
