    Which would you rather have: more rapes, or more kids kicked out of school for false allegations?

    It’s a false dichotomy. There are other ways to prevent rape at schools without throwing away due process.

    Plus, the false allegation thing is kinda bunk. If it happens, then sue them for libel. Since there isn’t a lot of that going on, I think it’s less of an issue than, ya know, rape.

    Yes, because common students routinely have 10s of thousands of $ to pay for lawyers to probably not even get back the same amount.

    Anecdotally, I know four rape victims that didn’t come forward. I know zero men who were falsely accused. I’m sure I’m not special in this regard.

    So you are saying throwing away due process did not even work to make them come forward in the first place, since this was repealed just now.

      If there were other ways to prevent rape, they would be there already. So you’re clearly wrong.

      I agree we should provide free law services to people without money so they can get justice just like the rich people. Let’s do that. And we can do that without endangering young girls.

      There is no due process being thrown away. These people aren’t going to jail. They’re being kicked out of school. A school can kick out a child for literally anything that isn’t a protected class. Rape allegations seems like a pretty good reason to kick someone out, especially compared to some other reasons people have been kicked out, like protesting.

        Ah, my bad. I did not realize a good government healthcare is not possible because it is not already there.

        Also a shame safer roads are impossible to build, otherwise they already would have. Or walkable cities. Mass transit.

        Yeah, something good not already existing clearly means it is not possible. I will give up any attempt to improve anything at once. /s

        There is no due process being thrown away. These people aren’t going to jail.

        Oh, my apologies. Did not know anything that does not put you in jail does not deserve due process. You must be so angry at Luigi and his fans since clearly rejecting insurance claims is also not putting you in jail and does not deserve any due process. It is just financial ruin, same as having student loans without a degree. Not an issue at all. /s

        A school can kick out a child for literally anything that isn’t a protected class.

        Ah yes, the “things are already bad so we should make them worse” argument. Also, its not even really true.

        Seriously, what the fuck are these arguments of yours? You can’t possibly believe them yourself. Are you just trying to retroactively come up with arguments for a policy you just insist on believing because the guy who said it had (D) after their name? Just making up arguments for others, without actually using them to shape your own opinions?

          Ok, so you agree there aren’t things in place to prevent rape. Only that there could one day be. Great. Go do that. The lack of its current existence makes it irrelevant to the conversation. That’s my point.

          Due process is very very clearly a legal term. Private institutions aren’t required to follow anything like it. You need to differentiate between what IS and what you wish were the case.

          I don’t care who made the rule. Fuck the Democrats. I care that women who are raped are being silenced. It’s literally that simple.

            Go do that.

            Go elect me for office and I will. Until then, there is nothing I can do for you.

            Due process is very very clearly a legal term. Private institutions aren’t required to follow anything like it.

            What the fuck do you think we are talking about this whole fucking time? Title IX mandates a process schools have to follow. Trumps changes bring it closer to what is considered a due process. The whole fucking conversation is about whether that is a good thing.

            You need to differentiate between what IS and what you wish were the case.

            It literally IS. You are the one seething that men are now actually granted reasonable due process protections.

            I care that women who are raped are being silenced.

            How the fuck are they being silenced? It literally requires the opposite, that they testify properly.
