A recent article in the Wake Forest newspaper talked about an interesting way for the school to get rid of bias in the school. As stated in the article, Campus Reacts to Bias Report System, they are implementing an online system to report acts of bias anonymously in the school system. This is a way to make sure student's first amendment rights are not infringed upon. A student could say what happened and the school would take measures to fix the problem and make sure nothing like that never happens again. People are worried that students wouldn't take it seriously, but if they can start utilizing this system it would be a great way to stop discrimination and protect people's first amendment rights. More places should try to implement this system because it is a great way to get people to start thinking about their rights and how they can protect themselves and others. With this system everyone can get their thoughts out there without feeling like they can get in trouble, the only problem that could arise is if nothing was done about the biases that are being posted. However, if the system is used the way it is supposed to, it will be the next step to us getting rid of unfair biases that cause problems constantly in our society.
