Especially your son or daughter? Betsy DeVos, Trump's education secretary, is talking about rolling back the infamous "Dear Colleague" letter that caused colleges countrywide to set up campus kangaroo courts, run by social justice warrior administrators, to punish young men whenever young women complained about "sexual assault".
I don't know about "sexual assault", that's a new one whipped up by the Obama administration, that can mean just about anything. But rape, that's been a serious crime for a thousand years, so serious it carried the death penalty. College administrators are unfit to handle cases of rape. When a young woman complains of rape, the college should offer her a ride to and from the police station to swear out a complaint, and the case should be handled by the regular courts. American courts are far far better than college administrators in providing due process. And they can hand out serious punishment, far more serious than a college administrator who is limited to just expulsion from college. In my book, expulsion is too mild for a rapist.
And if the case isn't rape, but just "sexual assault", should the college get involved at all? You would think just peer pressure, which I remember as being damn strong, would be enough.
I think Betsey DeVos and the education dept should tell colleges to refer cases of rape to law enforcement and the courts, and to drop this "sexual assault" stuff.
