Really? wrote:Education Secretary Betsy DeVos gave a speech in which she went against the "Dear Colleague" rape culture witch hunt bullshit.
In a major speech assailing the deprivation of due process protections under the Obama administration, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos will vow to rein in the federal guidance compelling colleges to adjudicate sexual assault disputes between students.
Reason has obtained excerpts from her prepared remarks, which DeVos will deliver at George Mason University this afternoon.
No one could accuse DeVos of pulling punches. Her speech accuses her predecessors of "weaponizing" federal regulations and turning them against students.
"The era of 'rule by letter' is over," her speech says, referencing the Obama-era Education Department's infamous "Dear Colleague" letter, which fundamentally changed the way schools handle sexual misconduct issues. "Through intimidation and coercion, the failed system has clearly pushed schools to overreach."

As you might expect, the left is lying and/or stupid about saying that DeVos wants each woman in the country to be raped at least twice and by at least two different men. (I'm slightly exaggerating.) #StopBetsy. (Stop her from what, exactly.)

Subject: College Rape Accusations and the Presumption of Male Guilt
Dear Ms Ali,
Are you aware of the article in the Wall Stree Journal?

I am a parent with one boy in College and another due to start in
another year, and I am appalled that if my son were to be falsely
accused of rape that he would be subjected to the kind of kangaroo
court that you appear to be advocating.
I have advised my son to have nothing to do with any woman while on
campus, in the hope that this will minimize the risk to his current
and future well being that your policy represents.
Quite frankly, I wonder how you can conceivable justify this complete
and utter travesty of due process except by assuming that a male, any
male is automatically guilty of any accusation if it is made by a
female.
Have you no male relatives or friends in college?

Should I mention that none of my kids went to a college in the USA after all?
Fun fact. One of my boys concealed from me for an entire term that he had been assigned a female room mate because he believed I would have
freaked out been unreasonably concerned.
I had to explain that this is Canukistan where it is completely unremarkable. In fact I then told him about my experience at York University where the washrooms/showers are co-ed.
(Later on I realized that most women went to the showers in pairs. Even so, I recall being a little startled the first time while I was shaving, two women casually wandered in and got into the showers. I was completely ignored. Judging that this was the protocol, I likewise did the same).
Whatever man. Fuck (Die Antwoord)
