Democratic Attorney Generals are suing for the right to convene kangaroo courts in which the defendant is not allowed to present evidence or cross examine witnesses or any other means of due process. In the past couple of years, male students have sued universities over their unconstitutional policies in which all it takes is an accusation to find someone guilty even if you have overwhelming evidence of your innocence. Over 170 successful lawsuits against the universities.
Led by Attorneys General Xavier Becerra (CA), Josh Shapiro (PA), and Gurbir Grewal (NJ), Democrats are demanding that you believe all women. (Except any who accuse Democrats like Tara Reade) That policy was initiated by the Obama administration and allowed universities to ruin the lives of innocent male students without any due process whatsoever.
🚨NEWS🚨 I have sued Trump and Betsy DeVos to block their attempts to gut Title IX and undermine our work to prevent sexual violence on college campuses. We’ve made so much progress in recent years and I won’t let them drag us backwards. https://t.co/TYkNOYcfi3

“If the Rule is permitted to take effect, students across the country will return to school in the fall with less protection from sexual harassment,” claims the lawsuit that was filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. “The Rule will reverse decades of effort to end the corrosive effects of sexual harassment on equal access to education—a commitment that, until now, has been shared by Congress and the Executive Branch across multiple elections and administrations, as well as by state and local officials and school administrators.”
The lawsuit adds:
The Rule creates substantive and procedural barriers to schools’ investigation and adjudication of sexual harassment complaints, and discourages students and others from making sexual harassment complaints. As a result, fewer sexual harassment complaints will be filed, and schools will be less well equipped to protect their students’ safety and rid their programs and activities of the pernicious effects of sex discrimination.
However, U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos said in an interview in May on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily that the new rule is a win for both alleged victims of sexual misconduct and the accused.
Some of the new features of the rule include spelling out alleged victims’ right to supportive services, such as class or dorm changes, and an option to file a formal complaint.
Those accused of sexual misconduct will not be presumed guilty, according to the new rule. They will be entitled to written notice of allegations, the right to an advocate, and the right to cross-examination, which had been denied them in the past.
The rule also specifies how schools that receive federal financial aid are required to respond to allegations of sexual misconduct.
