Word tonight is that members of the Duke lacrosse team have been all but exonerated by DNA evidence. Other new evidence reported by defense attorneys further suggest that the accusations may be deliberately false.
Activists at Duke claim readiness to completely overturn any "culture" at Duke that displeases them. These ususal suspects always focus their attacks on fraternities and masculine athletics.
Fifty-five varsity athletes at Duke are members of eleven different IFC fraternities. Five Lacrosse players are fraternity men: Kappa Alpha and Delta Sigma Phi.
So what happens now?
Where does the Lacrosse team go to get their season back?
Where does the lacrosse coach go to get his professional reputation restored?
Will the flase accusers be charged, or will they be ignored so as not to offend the activists?
Will fraternities and athletics be attacked now by activist faculty in spite of the indicators that the greatest wrong was done by the false accuser?
This issue hits close to home.

Lack of DNA evidence does not mean that a sexual assault did not occur.
It also doesnt mean that a friend of a lacrosse player committed a crime, and the players are covering for that person or persons.
