College to punish those who DON'T get involved in 'bias' disputes 'Bystanders and accomplices can be held accountable'

Students at Syracuse University who see or hear those situations from which arise claims of "bias-motivated" speech, or worse, are being told they could be punished if they don't get involved.

The situation was profiled by Jonathan Turley, the famed Georgetown University law professor whose positions often align with progressive interests.

He noted that students were told recently that, "The Cody of Student conduct has been revised, based on your input, to state that violations of the code that are bias-motivated – including conduct motivated by racism – will be punished more severely. The university also revised the code to make clear when bystanders and accomplices can be held accountable. The code will be prepared and distributed for students to sign in the fall."

'CODY'? Yeah, I know what's meant. But, sort of like bullying you into action? And if you don't sign? Bye bye? More leftist bullying. I could sworn there was a push to end bullying. Oh. DUH! Only considered that if it's a conservative issue. Got it.

Sherlock Holmes: “I draw your attention to the dog that barked in the night.”
Watson: “But Holmes, the dog did not bark.”
Holmes: “Exactly Watson, and the dog’s refusal to be involved tells me that he is the guilty one.”

Akin to forced conscription.

By the left.

To be one of the belligerent parties, against Conservatives and Patriots.

Commie hellhole builders LOVE thought crimes. Stalin made a hero out of a child who tuned in his father... to be put to death for 'wrong thoughts'...

Parents of children at Syracuse need to pull their children out and alums need to pull donations.

May the 'elite' at Syracuse University rot in hell. Or worse - be condemned to live in the democrat hellholes their ideas create...

Two points, please.

1. What is “conduct motivated by racism“? Noice how vague that is. They’re not talking about overt racist behavior. They’re talking about conduct motivated by what they think is in your head. That’s VERY Stalinist. And very hard to refute. So the purges will accelerate.

2. This bystander-is-guilty idea is nothing new. Awhile back I was reading about a BLM group who said “silence is violence”. So just saying nothing is a violent act directed towards them.

So, you can be guilty just because you happen to be nearby.

More changes coming!

“Comrade. You were not cheering enthusiastically enough.”

“Comrade. Your silence betrays your racist heart!”

“Comrade. You must donate to the Democrat Party! Only racists refuse to donate!

"bias-motivated" speech

What the hell is that? Anything from Syracuse University needs to be ignored. Perhaps people need to stop hiring people from schools like this. Idiot students and their parents go into debt to go to Syracuse. That in itself is disqualification from the work world. It shows absolute financial stupidity.
