So he fired the coach and kicked two of the boys out of the university because they should be presumed innocent.

No, the fact that they had been charged with felonies precluded them from continuing at Duke until the matter had been legally cleared up. That's policy at every school and most every company in America. Duke's actions violated no law, no school policy and no protected due process rights.

Falsely accused. Falsely indicted. I’d wager that the LAX players and coach don’t consider the Duke administration to have protected their rights whatsoever.

I don’t know if your assertion is correct or not, but even if it is, it’s a no less a travesty in cases like this. Brodhead still screwed up, the Gang of 88 is still a bunch of leftist harpies, and the school administration deserves every bit of criticism and scrutiny that it so uncomfortably finds itself under as of yesterday.

Multiply that about 100 times for the DA (and those who voted him back in office when evidence was already shown to be non-existent in the case), the ADA’s and perhaps some of the police dept.
