Wanted: A Duke Lacrosse Team Hero is an excellent commentary by Anthony Bradley at the Acton Institute. I loved this paragraph!
We should mourn as a nation because we continue to encourage men to become consumers of female dehumanization. The sensational Duke lacrosse case is a display of all-too-common failure on this score. There is outrage aplenty, but the sources of the problem are deeper than alleged acts of sexual assault. Why is there no national outrage about the fact that two adult women subjected themselves to voyeuristic, live pornography? What kind of men do we raise in America that they would even want to hire a stripper?
He goes on
Duke’s lacrosse team is a team of fully grown, adult men, and they should be expected to live that way. If we send men as young as 18-years old all over the world to die for freedom then surely we should expect the same high standards of character from men in our colleges and universities.
America perpetuates adolescence and enables irresponsibility by not holding college men to the high standards of moral integrity. Duke has no college “kids” going through a “phase.” No child called the Allure Escort Service to hire two women ages 27 and 31.
There is more. Preach it Mr. Bradley!
