How Political Correctness can be Enforced by Terms of Service without Violating our Constipation
Today May 5, 2011, the organization Freedom for Individual Rights in Education alerted us to a recent letter sent out by the Federal Education Department Civil Rights Division (thatâs a scary enough concept, right there!), addressed âDear Colleagueâ. http://www2.ed.gov/print/about/offic...ue-201104.html
The letter orders any university hoping to continue receiving Federal funds to immediately:
1) Adopt a 51% evidence standard to establish civil guilt in any sexual harassment case;
2) Treat âgender-based harassment, which may include acts of nonverbalâ¦hostility based onâ¦sex-stereotyping, even if those acts do not involve conduct of a sexual natureâ as subtle rape;
3) End any discretion not to prosecute;
4) Mandatory reporting by educator âblock leadersâ about suspected cases;
5) Allow secret accusations and evidence in order to protect the victims;
6) Disallow open hearings and procedures;
7) Prohibit, if convenient, the presence of any attorney for the accused;
8) Prohibit, if convenient, appeals of any star chamber court findings;
9) Prohibit requiring the accuser to appear;
10) Prohibit cross-examination of the accuser;
11) Use campus police to investigate and collect evidence for the civil trial;
12) Report all âviolationsâ of campus rules to all interested persons;
13) Provide all collected information to the Federal government; and constantly
14) Conduct periodic assessments of student activities to ensure that the practices and behavior of students do not violate the schoolâs policies against sexual harassment.
