SJWs in Canada are attempting to play the “Code of Conduct” game in the medical field:
I am a physician in a Canadian province, and unbeknownst to most of the lay public, there is currently some infighting amongst the physician community here, centred on a physician’s organization. In short: some autocrats within the organization have taken it upon themselves to try and impose a “Code of Conduct” on all members. This “Code” includes provisions placing limits on what members may speak or write in public, subject to the whims of unelected, unaccountable busybodies.
There is no reason or need for this Code. No provincial physician’s group in the country has a similar Code. But, being familiar with your work, the phrase “Code of Conduct” sets alarm bells crashing in my head, and I recognize it for what it can only be: an SJW-style attempt to impose absurd and capricious rules on successful people.
I belong to an organization which is fighting all of this. Periodically they send out mass emails, and in the most recent one, they say this about the proposed Code: Most of the words used within the policy have no legal definitions and are so vague that they could be arbitrarily and subjectively applied to ANY words or actions of members; serving to silence voices through fear and suppression of free speech.
All of this may only be semi-interesting to someone outside the province and outside the profession, but I felt it to be yet another example of the “Code of Conduct” strategy currently being deployed by SJWs across the English-speaking nations. And Jordan Peterson recently predicted this, in a video in December – he’s been involved with a fight over similar issues with the Law Society of Ontario, and he predicted that it would be coming to all professions, soon.
Well, he was right; it’s here. Luckily some of us have read your books.
Personally, I think adopting a Code of Conduct is brilliant. Just suggest the following:
- No telling lies.
- No committing adultery.
- No stealing or engaging in financial fraud.
- No performing acts of euthanasia.
- No performing abortions
- No blaspheming the names of God or Jesus Christ.
Anyone guilty of violating the code will lose their medical license. Any questions?
Agreeing and amplifying may actually be a better defense against SJW-imposed codes of conduct than trying to argue that one is unnecessary. Once they realize it will be turned against them, they’ll stop pushing for it.
