Progressives against due process - The backlash against Betsy DeVos’s proposed Title IX reforms is troubling

I feel like the United States has flipped upside down. It's hard enough to believe that the college kangaroo courts were even put into place to begin with, but it's even harder to believe that there are so many people who want them to remain.

Thanks for this article.

Follow the money.

An unfair legal system forces people to spend more money on Lawyers.

"Progressives"

(spoiler: they are actually regressive)

Trump got elected. There's enough conservatives out there to fight this shit, do not be disheartened.

I wonder how much of this backlash is not as much against the actual reforms - which almost anyone I talk to would, if pressed, agree with - as against DeVos and Trump and some of their much, much battier, partisan ideas.

But this still troubles me. I see striking parallels to the US abortion debate: although both sides obviously care about both babies and women's rights to bodily integrity, each side uses arguments that make few concessions to the concerns of the other. Similarly, in this particular debate, the left appears dismissive and at times callous about the problem of false or distortionary accusations and abuse of the system overall, while the right appears to ignore the problems that the Dear Colleague letter wanted to address - problems, by the way, that probably affect men to a significant, if not equal, extent.

I have no solution that does not create serious trade-offs. Which is exactly why the lack of nuanced debate is so harmful.
