Guilty

I showed my students reports from CNN on the Steubenville rape case.  As I suspected, several kids thought the girl should get in trouble for being drunk.  Well, guess what--they were all drunk.  As I preached about knowing your limits and the bad decision-making of most 16-year-olds, I wondered if anything would sink in to the minds that needed it the most.

It did make my day to get an e-mail from a parent the next day, thanking me for bringing this up in class.  Her son was among those who blamed the victim, and they had a chance to talk about it.  At least someone is listening.
