The Trump administration announced today that it is now rescinding Obama-era school sexual assault guidance and issuing a question-and-answer document while a formal review is undertaken.

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has said a new direction is needed to balance the rights of the victims and the accused, and said in a statement today, "As I said earlier this month, the era of rule by letter is over." The highly contentious shift under Title IX affects all the nation's colleges, universities and K-12 schools.

1. Every single parent with a kid in school needs to be

starting riots at every single school board meeting, in front of their schools and their Congressional members.

3. The problem with the policy

was that it denied certain Constitutional rights to the accused, and that it was instituted via a "Dear Colleague" letter. Sexual assault cases should be the province of the legal system, not the educational system.

8. I see it now.

Woman: He violently raped me and I got a rape test to prove it and I have all of these bruises that the doctor said are in line with a rape.

College: We will talk to the sports player.

College to sport player: Did you rape this girl"

College sport player: No.

College: OK

College to raped girl: We just proved you were not raped because sport player said he did not.

They will take this next to high schools and then to the general public and rape will soon be legal.

Gee, they will save a lot of money because a lot of women will never be able to get health insurance.

Of course you do realize that it will be illegal to rape men.

11. I don't get why colleges have anything to do with rape or sexual assault?

These are huge violent felonies.

If a student reported being raped by another student, the correct response should be to call the police.

We already have a process for investigating and adjudicating violent crimes. Why would a college think it is qualified to investigate, try and judge felonies?
