When citizens regret expressing concerns, you know a Culture of Silence has taken root. Our society is enabling the destruction of concerned citizens by people motivated to protect their own apathetic behavior from investigation. Naomi Williams reported a concern that she thought could lead to improvements in education, and now she’s being treated worse than a criminal.
Deryl Dedmon and his friends will receive more justice after killing a 49 year old auto plant worker “just because he was black” (link below). This hate crime could have been prevented if JUST ONE of Dedmon’s buddies had the courage to choose morality over SILENCE. James Anderson was the victim of a society where citizens will sacrifice their very humanity to avoid being labeled a “SNITCH”.
Bullies breed in the Culture of Silence that’s created when concerned citizens are labeled a “snitch”, and investigated with more vigor than the concern itself. To prevent a Culture of Silence from blooming in this country, it isn’t enough to just enforce retaliation laws against corporations, and it isn’t necessary for every citizen to report their every concern, although that would be a nice start. Only when individuals have enough courage to refuse to participate in retaliation will the Culture of Silence be abolished.
