I tell you what DUKE really screwed up. They accepted the premise that these kids were Guility. They cancelled the entire season, fired the coach, and hosted 3 Night vigils to protest the crime!

You have to remember this party was OFF-CAMPUS, so it greatly reduces the right of the school to discipline the students.

NCCU didn't take any action against the Media Darling when she Stealing from her "customers" and trying to run over Cops.

Someone (in the media) should look up those girls and the JR feminist Midnight vigil they had on campus where they screameda the players "How could you!" as tears streaked down their faces.

I wonder if they'll line up for hours to scream at the Media's new Rosa Park's now that the truth has come out.

I wonder CNN will stick a camera in their face now and ask them if they feel stupid.

I wonder if this the College professors will use this as a case study to demonstrate the institional racism and hate against white males in the Media, Justice, and Educational systems.

You are so right on this case. I went to a private prep school back around 1960. There was an incident back then, because of the relatively more "pristine era" it was much less unseemly looking, but the school's administration did the right thing back then and stood by the few boys involved/accused.

It taught me a lesson about justice way back then. I will never forget. I wasn't one of the boys involved, but was close enough to see the damage that could have been done. Because the administration had no impulse to cave to any pressures, the lives of those guys went on as they should. I wish I could say the same about the lives of many of these guys at Duke.

I appreciate your diligence on this story.

That was pure bull by that administration. I must admit to having never liking Duke, I don't exactly know why (maybe it's because their basketball team gets mostly all the calls over the years ;-) ).

But, this cements it. Many of those kids got royally screwed.

I find it strange that Duke canceled the entire lacrosse season. There have been worse rape allegation against football and basketball players but to my knowledge no entire seasons have been canceled.

It's is one thing to suspend those accused of rape. Let the season continue with the other players and walk-ons. Seems President Brodhead has a problem with lacrosse. Maybe he was bullied by the jocks and wants to act in ways he thinks is cool.
