Sexual assault is defined as a violent assault of a sexual nature up to and including forcible rape - the second worst crime after murder. To put the President's announcement into context, in 2012, the national crime victimization survey, which seeks to avoid under reporting of crime to police by surveying the population directly, estimates the national victimization rate for all violent crimes — rape/sexual assault, robbery, assault and violent crime involving injury (people who get murdered don't answer their phones) — was 26 per one thousand people. The rape/sexual assault rate reported in the survey was 1.3 per thousand. If you assume that President Obama meant that one in five women will be sexually assaulted over the course of a five year college career, then the President is telling us that as a matter of policy, his administration formally believes that our daughters are being raped, assaulted and otherwise sexually abused by our sons at a rate that is 1.5 times the victimization rate for all types of violent crime and thirty times the nation's sexual assault rate.
So given this fact - and the President wouldn't lie, what does this mean for college education? Stanford University enrolls 6,564 women. If one in five of these women suffers a violent assault of a sexual nature during their five year college career, that means an estimated 1,313 Stanford women on campus today are past victims. And that means that up to 1,313 Stanford men on campus today are violent sexual predators. Indeed if the President's data is even remotely right, over 300 different female students are sexually assaulted at Stanford every year, some of them more than once.
So given a crime spree that exceeds anything ever measured outside of a Hun invasion, what is the President's plan? Call out the National Guard? Get DNA from every male on campus? Set up a Federal Bureau of Sex Crimes? Institute curfews? Ban coeducational parties? Resegregate dormitories and post armed guards in front of the women's dorms? Arm every woman on campus with tasers? Ban coeducation?
I don't know what Obama will do but I bet he's got something really nasty up his sleeve. After all there are more than a million Americans in prison for selling or possessing illegal drugs and rape/sexual assault is vastly worse than dealing dope (although in fairness one of the 'unofficial' punishments for imprisoned drug felons is rape/sexual assault). If these statistics are even remotely correct then there are a lot of male students who need to be sent to maximum security prison for a long, long time. According to the Department of Education 8.9 million men attended college in 2012. It's reasonable to believe, given the President's data that at least 500,000 of them are violent sexual predators.
And we really need to hold accountable the college administrators and law enforcement officials that have ignored the epidemic. For example Stanford University, which the LA Times cites as a model for anti-sexual assault policy, reported and investigated only 12 cases of violent assault of a sexual nature on their campus from 2010 to 2013. You read that right: 12. Not the 1200 that President Obama told us to expect but 12. There is clearly a serious conspiracy to hide the flood tide of campus rape. But why would college leaders want to hide the horrific violent predation on their campuses? After all, they're liberals, progressives even. If this rate of sexual assault was going on in a redneck town like Bartlesville, Oklahoma, we blinkered, troglodytic tea bagging thugs would pull out all of the stops to protect our daughters. And what about all of the women in positions of authority at colleges? Why have they allowed this horror to persist? Clearly many college administrators need to be prosecuted for conspiracy. We should reserve a special punishment for all the 'sisters' in power who have looked the other way.
And we really need to reevaluate the whole concept of a liberal university if it generates such an incredible explosion of sexual violence. Because this level of cruelty and chaos isn't happening in our churches or businesses or neighborhoods. Indeed, it seems to be a direct result of the liberal, progressive environment on our college campuses.
What is wrong with these people? Are they evil? And why would any thinking American allow anyone who worked at a university, saw this going on and did nothing about it to hold a position of authority above the rank of dog catcher?
Because, President Obama, in all those years spent as a lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School, living just off campus you must have run into dozens, hundreds of victims and yet you did nothing, said nothing. Why is that?
I mean if you're telling the truth.
