is this what we are teaching our males to be party oriented and we know which party, the one waging war on women.

The National Women’s Law Center is joining forces with a Michigan-area law firm to file a complaint on behalf of a young woman who was sexually assaulted by one of her high school’s star basketball players. As RH Reality Check reports, the complaint alleges that high school administrators did nothing to help advocate for the rape victim after she came forward with her story. 

In fact, the principal discouraged her from filing charges because he was worried that would hurt her rapist’s chances at getting recruited to play college basketball:

According to the complaint, in 2010 the victim was sexually assaulted by a star player on the school’s basketball team. The assault took place on campus in a sound proof band room at Forest Hills Central High School. The victim notified a teacher who in turn reported the assault to the principal. 

But rather than open an investigation into the allegations, the principal discouraged the student and her parents from filing charges, telling them that doing so could ruin the assailant’s prospects at being recruited to play basketball for a Division 1 school. [...]

As alleged in the complaint, two weeks later another female student was sexually assaulted by the same attacker. Despite a legal obligation under Title IX to investigate the assault and protect the student, the high school officials never interviewed the girl or her parents again, failed to conduct an investigation, and for two and a half weeks left the attacker in one of her classes.

After the news of the assault spread throughout the Michigan high school, the victim faced backlash from her fellow students, who called her a whore and a liar.

 this again is an example of how we end up with the laws ans lack of enforcement of those laws, how indifferenty callous are those coming up in the next generation?

we feign being appaulled at these attacks by teens we seek first the attack the violated ones espcially if there is some celebrity attached to the SOB's that commit such intrusive acts, this and other brush off's by those charged with looking out for the teens best well being, Penn State.

parents get payed the child lives or not with that trauma and after trauma trauma from apathetic peers and the band plays on.

states like Arz. and Texas turn their heads when indian reservations are over run by assailants not of that race, or illrgal immigrants jackpot  like it's looked at as a perk.
