No, there is no war on women. medical evidence corroborates her claim, yet nothing was done. sickening, just sickening, but, sadly, not in the least surprising. gee, do you think the guy was a football player?

further research on this story shows that she and the alleged rapist were sent TO THE SAME DISCIPLINARY SCHOOL. almost destroyed her hopes of going to college, it took the ACLU's involvement to get her record cleared.

f*** henderson and each and every institution that treats victims of sexual violence this way.

2. wow-- the interest in this disgusting, yet, unfortunately, typical, story, is depressing. so

is this statistic I ran across while looking for more on this story:

'. . . .

Expert: Schools don't know the rules
There were some 3,800 reported incidents of sexual battery and 800 reported incidents of rape or attempted rape in public high schools in the 2007-8 school year, according to a Department of Education letter to educators in 2011. (The department sends such letters periodically to issue policy guidance.) Calling the sexual violence a "call to action for the nation," the department reminded schools of their Title IX responsibilities, including the obligation to launch an internal investigation into reports of sexual assault to ensure a safe environment for students. Another requirement: appointing a Title IX coordinator to ensure compliance with the law.
