I’ll say this much about GCC. My former Brother-in-Law is one of the Professors there and it is one of the few Colleges which expect the faculty and staff to live up to the same expectations that they have for the students. I don’t know much about the college beyond my initial contact with it back in 2005, but this truly amazed and encouraged me.
Not disagreeing. Just saying...
That's somewhat true, but it's also a fallacy put out by groups that support pedophilia.
First of all, the average age of menarche for girls over 17 as recently as the mid-19th century. There are all sorts of theories as to the decline in age, but the reality is that "reaching puberty" means something very different today than what it meant a couple hundred years ago. I think most would agree that an 18 year old girl living on a farm two hundred years ago is FAR MORE MATURE than a 13 year old girl living in suburbia today.
Now, it is true that nobility and very wealthy families used to marry off their daughters (not sons) at a very young age; however, this was done for political and financial reasons only. Additionally, these marriages were almost never consummated until the girl was much older and in many cases she didn't even live with her husband until then.
No, Mr. Regnerus was attributing the belief in the quote to people such as Professor Whosis that’s planning to sue CUA to force co-ed dorms. I think Regnerus wrong in calling people like that “well-meaning,” or imagining that they would like to curtail binge drinking or drunken, casual sex acts.
As with abortion, there’s no reason to oppose simple, low-cost ways to reduce opportunity and incidence unless you actually favor the activity.

Further information shows the prospective litigant is a nutball, attention-mongering leftist freak.
But you repeat myself. :^)

Yup, way too late. We need to think instead about radical
privatization of all education.
