#1 87 sigs from the "Group of 88"?

Need I guess who the holdout was?

#2 "The disaster is the atmosphere...." -- we're told. The students' perceptions matter and deserve to be "give[n] voice." Perception is everything to these leftists. If something is percieved to have happened it is the same as happening. Except when what they have done or said is percieved differently than what they percieve. They want to stir things up but don't want to be responsible for what they unleash.

#3 The Duke 87 is apparently somewhat different than the Duke 88. Some profs dropped out and some profs, either wanting 15 minutes of fame or some support in getting tenure, joined.

Organizers couldn't quite get enough replcements to get back to 88.

#4 Come on, guys. Let's not get hung up on facts here. It's all about truthiness. And feelings. All Hail the Narrative!

Personally, I'm appalled at this racial lynch mob and Duke's whole-hearted participation in it.

#5 Funny that the school invited back the kids but a professor left. Ironic and probably a good trade off.

#6 A hundred years ago, a white women falsely accusing a group of black men would end up with a real lynching by a bunch of knuckle dragging low lifes and thrill seekers. Today, when a black woman falsely accuses a group of white boys it a bunch of self important arrogant unapologetic pseudo educated welfare for the lefty hanger-ons at what used to be an institution of 'higher learning' that engages in virtual lynchings. The story is the same, it's just the characters have changed places. It's never been about right or justice, it's always been about power.

#7 Kind of fitting in the home of post modernism - the first ad didn't mean what it plainly said.

Odd that they weren't so anxious to clear up the misunderstanding back when it looked like the lacrosse players might be guilty. Or maybe not.
