Will Justice Be Served?


I showed this Outside The Lines video to two of my classes last week.  It's about the two high school football players accused to raping an unconscious partygoer last fall.

Sadly, the responses most of my students had were predictable:  it's her fault, she drank too much, she shouldn't have gotten drunk, etc.

I worry about the total lack of empathy most of these kids have. The mentality is, I'll get mine and the hell with anyone else.  How wonderful!
