Law? We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Law

Published July 8, 2016 5:45pm ET



This week, the president and vice president revealed plans to intensify their personal crusade against campus “rape culture.” President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will “put the pedal to the metal,” per the Washington Post: They, their wives, and cabinet members won’t set foot on college campuses where officials don’t adjudicate sexual assault cases to the White House’s liking, thus denying students the privilege of a snoozing through a commencement address delivered by Dr. Jill Biden.

Rape being a crime, some colleges defer to the police, but in so doing, these schools, it is now claimed, violate federal guidance on how to enforce the Education Act of 1972’s Title IX—which states, “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”
