I just don't get it. Do you need to get something off your chest? Did one of your sons get falsely accused of rape or something?
I'm not trying to be combative, I'm just trying to understand where you're coming from. When someone gets on a soapbox the way you have, they tend to provide some background for perspective. Otherwise, it just seems like an unwarranted rant.

Hmmm, I guess I assumed, from the subject matter of this board that some posters were at least tangentially interested in today's college campuses. The navel gazing is interesting, to say the least.
And I'm going to assume that you are being deliberately obtuse by mischaracterizing what I'm saying (figuratively or not) that there's "nothing to see here so stop talking about it." The media and activists keep insisting there is a crisis, ad nauseum. (ie, the reaction to Miss USA). The federal government is reacting to "the crisis" in typical fashion....more nonsensical regulations, more beauracrats, more sensitivity training, more money spent on fluff that drives up the cost of tuition. Does one have to have a hidden agenda to react negatively to that?
For the record, I don't. Two sons and neither of them have ever been accused of anything. I do have a perspective that some of you probably don't have, having a front row seat to a college campus environment.
