| [Washington Post] Two words: Tawana Brawley. Back in the Lower Paleolithic men and women were accommodated in segregated facilities. The parental expectation was that daughters (and even sons) were going to school to get educated, not to get laid, not even to get drugged and/or drunk. "Sexual freedom" apparently includes crappy behavior on the part of a significant number of young fellows; the term "ungentlemanly" is quaintly old-fashioned, but nobody seems to see a connection. But if the women make "slut" a term of honor than its male equivalent is bound to appear. "Unladylike" is as quaint as "ungentlemanly." I have seven granddaughters and a great-granddaughter. I can only hope that the pendulum swings back the other way before the little ones are expected to swim in the educational cesspool. |

| #5 Volokh had a good piece on the legalities of defamation and libel. RS and Erdley probably shouldn't take on any serious financial commitments (like eating at McD's) for a while. |

| #4 Very true, P2K: now the word is that while the story may not be true, there are important 'truths' to be learned. It's another example of 'truthiness' by the Left. |

| #3 It's never about 'facts' for the progressives. It's all about 'feelings'. Then they wonder why their plans and programs collapse or fail. The RS staff is just in damage control, as they're very unlikely to do serious soul search why they got so easily suckered - cause of their own bigotry and bias. Can't face those facts. |

| #1 ...It's starting to become painfully clear that the Nice Lady who wrote the damn article in the first place had an ax of some sort to grind, and she ground it on the pointy lil' heads of the RS staff. Some of the stories I'm reading today indicate the level of fury on the part of the RS leadership is reaching Bush re-election level, and that there are some folks for the chop, as Lord Blackadder used to say.
