Rep. Jackie Speier Explains Why Your Son’s Life Should Be Destroyed

There was an open question when Tyler Kingkade left his position as Huff Po’s staunchest neo-feminist ally to go to Buzzfeed whether he would persist in being the go-to apologist for sad tears and big lies. That question has now been answered. You go, girl.

College students punished for sexual assault would have their transcripts reflect their disciplinary history under a new bill proposed Thursday by Rep. Jackie Speier, a Democrat from California.

The Safe Transfer Act would require information about sexual assault charges to stay on a student’s transcript for five years after their disciplinary case settles. Colleges would also be required to disclose case results to officials at any other postsecondary institution that the accused student tried to attend. If a student was cleared, the case would be not added to their transcript.

The Scarlet Letter, that was once a joke in order to excuse the kangaroo college courts that didn’t need to be fair, to be competent, to provide due process because they didn’t really do anything according to pundits like Kingkade, is back. This time, a member of Congress wants to make it federal law so no neo-rapist gets away with it. Kingkade dutifully sells his wares, shilling for Jackie Speier, the Democratic representative of the 14th Congressional District of California, and the one in four women who will cry rape in college.

Speier, who has been the reliable friend to the school marms who want to be able to get their jollies while keeping open the option of destroying the patriarchy, would have had a very good chance of her bill making it out of committee and onto the floor under a different incoming administration. That crowd’s choir liked its fake-news song much better than it liked the other group’s fake news.

“Universities and colleges are perfectly willing to include academic infractions like plagiarism on students’ records, yet students who have committed sexual assault can walk away from campus with a clean academic bill of health,” Speier said in a statement. “This is appalling and, whether intentional or not, shows that acts of sexual violence on campus are less serious than cheating. My bill will ensure that students who try to transfer schools to avoid the consequences of their violent acts will, at a minimum, face the same consequences as students who transfer because they’ve cheated on an exam.”

There is no consequence too severe, too ill-conceived to Speier when it comes to emasculating males to preserve fair womanhood, even though two of the more “enlightened” states actually adopted the consequences while making “conviction” as easy-peasy as possible.

Just two states, Virginia and New York, currently require universities to mark a student’s sex offenses on their transcript.

This would be different if it was a matter of criminal history, after an accused was afforded due process. But the accusation is some amorphous feelz version of an offense. The adjudication process provides nothing remotely resembling due process. The outcome defies the evidence, because you have to believe the victim. The consequences are severe, whether suspension or expulsion, plus they keep all the tuition covered by your first couple hundred thou in student loans.

So Jackie Speier dutifully piles on yet another level of bullshit to destroy lives. And Kingkade dutifully reports a handful of anecdotes while studiously ignoring all the young men falsely accused, adjudicated rapists under the feminist definition of, “I dunno, I kinda feel it, so yeah, now I’m a victim I guess.”

Had Hillary Clinton been elected president, there is a very good chance that a bill like Speier’s Safe Transfer Act would be embraced, together with some sad tales and the loving support of the president by and for women.

Not all women, though. Not the mothers of young men who did nothing wrong. Not the mothers of young men whose lives have been wrecked by false accusations, by the post-modernist vision of sexual assault ranging from overhearing a dirty joke to being persuaded by a gender studies prof a year later that consensual sex was really rape, because a girl can change her mind whenever she wants. Not when the laundry list of excuses for why women aren’t equal enough to be responsible for their conduct is long enough to fill a two-semester deviant sexual studies class.

But what about the hated, dreaded, evil winner of the less-than-popular vote?  What will he-who-must-not-be-mentioned think of Jackie Speier’s bill?  Who knows?  Much as he can’t breathe without progressive swooning in fear, and much as he’s done everything possible to make himself look ridiculously ignorant, he’s not actually a principled backer of any particular cause. Indeed, he could just as easily buy the lies that Speier is selling as part of his “tough on crime because it’s an epidemic” agenda.

Does anybody believe Trump actually understands, well, anything? Does anybody believe that Trump has the capacity to pay enough attention to go beyond the pervasive lies of the past few years to get to the facts?

Crazy as all this sounds, there is a fairly good chance that there will be an intersection between the neo-feminist fantasy of making every feeling a potential rape, for which some male must pay, and the post-fact presidency that may well agree (or not) to go with the program.

At least there is one thing that we can still rely on: Tyler Kingkade will be the spokesmodel for the gals, no matter how dishonest their pitch or his advocacy journalism. Beyond that, who knows where the pain will go?

    No, it shows that cheating is a purely academic offense, which matters only to academia and which we should expect would be investigated and tracked by academia, versus sexual assault which people used to understand was a crime, to be investigated and tracked by police and the criminal courts.

    ‘. . . because a girl can change her mind whenever she wants.’

    When I was growing up that was sort of a joke observation about the relationship and power-balance between the sexes – both an affectionate mild jab at them and a blow-off of demands that they justify any changes from them.

    Now people seem to believe its a legal right.

    Likewise add false accusations of sexual assault to transcripts. While we’re at it, why not every felony for which a students might be convicted added to transcripts. And since the ball is rolling, add every instance of wrong-think.

    If we’re going to have a facsimile of a “criminal record” for these proceedings, every one of them needs to be channeled back to the criminal justice system. Where they belong. Where they have always belonged.

    It is scandalous that the DOE’s Office for Civil Rights imposed upon (mostly willing) campuses procedures that would be unconstitutional if utilized by the government. As a layman, I don’t understand that, but my attorney friends tell me that it meets constitutional muster. It is madness and injustice on our campuses, eviscerating the real meaning of rape and assault and, indeed, blighting young lives.
