Bernie Sanders called for all rape accusations on college campuses to be handled through law enforcement, a controversial stance that puts him at odds with many advocates. Decrying rape and sexual assault on campuses as an “epidemic,” he said schools must not try to handle the issue internally.
Thank you, Bernie! Finally, a voice of reason among all the madness.
I’m so glad somebody has the brains and the guts to say the painfully obvious: rape is a serious crime and shouldn’t be made a mockery of through being prosecuted by well-meaning yet entirely incapable amateurs.
Bernie is very brave to say this because now he will be attacked by a bunch of clucking hens who believe that feminism is about excluding women from the institutions of society.
Really weird from my perspective that this is not the obvious way to deal with crime on campus. It is definitely the way we do things in Australia but we don’t have as many universities with students resident on campus and I think this must effect campus culture somewhat.

Google U.S. law “Title IX.” This federal law, originally intended to insure “gender equality” in sports at American universities (“How dare university students, faculty, and alumni favor male sports like football over having a women’s swim team?”) includes specific provisions forcing the universities to function as a defacto extra-legal court system in accusations of sexual harassment.
