Only in America are mass shootings in schools a regular occurrence. Kids endure active shooter drills. They never get to enjoy a sense of safety. Yet America refuses to deal with the guns. They value the second amendment over the lives of their own children:

If you want to ban frats, you have to ban frats. The problem is the culture of these sex-segregated organizations. One way it manifests is in sexual violence, but that’s only the tip of the iceberg.

I worked with a fraternity at the University of Maryland after something like this. The men “came back” feeling righteous in avenging their collective punishment—and also, more valued by their school than ever. You can imagine how hostile that became for women on campus.

I want to add that this kind of a short-term suspension is worse than doing nothing. It’s a symbolic loss in service of defending the fraternity system and deepening its power on campus. And the fraternity men know that.

I remember reading some interview with a man who was “canceled” during #MeToo. His advice to other men facing consequences for sexual violence was to lay low for a year or two and then he’d come back to a bigger career than ever.

We’ve seen schools do this before. If this one-year party suspension doesn’t turn into a permanent ban, then it’s just a message to fraternities that they have true impunity. That even the worst, most violent behavior will result in a temporary slap on the wrist.

I'm convinced Newsom isn't running for President at all. Sure, he might have a committee and use it as a slush fund, but he's running to be appointed to corporate boards and fake think tanks and stuff. Just too many examples of him going out of his way to show he's not aligned with the Dem base.
