Friends—should the so-called “Cornell Rape case” even be going forward?
Join me for a discussion with one of the most honest, challenging voices writing out there today when it comes to issues of race, criminal justice, and yes, rape on campus: Heather Mac Donald.
Heather is a bestselling author, a Manhattan Institute fellow, and a longtime critic of the prevailing narrative surrounding sexual assault on college campuses. For years, she has challenged the statistics, investigative procedures, and presumption of guilt that she argues too often accompany accusations of campus rape.
Her views have generated enormous controversy—and raised questions that deserve serious consideration. Because here’s a woman who brings the receipts.
The Cornell case touches on issues Mac Donald has been examining for years: due process, credibility, campus politics, and the pursuit of justice. Nobody out there is sharper on this issue.
Trust us when we say: you’ll look at this case—and the “campus rape” issue in general—in a different light after hearing what she has to say.
Join us!
For further, you can find the article alluded to tonight’s interview HERE… and Heather’s X account HERE.
And click the image below for her latest book, which we discussed during this week’s NIGHTWATCH. As I mention: the book scared the heck out of me!
As always, it is interesting to hear Heather McDonald's academic findings and also hear an honest discussion between you both of the cause and effect of society pushing the "new" morality of feminism and the effect of the Great Society social engineering project of the 60's.
I have seen the harm that it has done to the family and the nation.
There is pushback from some sectors that value family and stable relationships. This is encouraging.
Completely throwing out established mores for the freedom to do whatever you want spontaneously has had such a deleterious effect on society.
There always has been backsliding of societies after they throw out their moral compass.
We can find our way back.
It is all in the Bible to be blunt.
I first encountered Heather MacDonald when an outlet that was using her crime statistics was suddenly "Not Available" due to the nature of it's content.
It was a breakdown of FBI crime stats by race
The implication of course is to present those facts would be racist.
My mind rebelled and suddenly it was clear to me
"Facts, in and of themselves, cannot be racist"
Then i saw the same statistics used in an article in the Center for American Progress.
They weren't racist over there, they were a plea for help.
Since then I've followed Ms. MacDonald and City Journal
I found one of the best pieces I've ever come across there and it talks about the roots back in the Great Society of our social problems. Then it gets into the Moynihan report.
It's a great reference.
The Cornell "Rape" is a perfect example of a society "Defining Deviancy Down"
Moynihan was a genius
Thanks to the both of you for your discussion.
Here's the link to the piece I mentioned
