The devils came out in Durham

Three weeks ago, an estimated 40 members of the Duke men's lacrosse team did something stupid: they attended a party hosted by three players at their off-campus house, a night of debauchery replete with underage drinking and a pair of exotic dancers.If the allegations made by one of those dancers are true, the night also included more than just relatively harmless stupidity: she claims the players showered her with racist and misogynist slurs, then pulled her into the bathroom and gang raped her.As appalling as the allegations are, I'm not totally shocked by them.

Improving immigration

Long dormant, the immigration issue has erupted back to life. Hundreds of thousands of Latino protesters are clashing with America's nativist wing.

The LGBT Center and the 'religious right'

Last Tuesday, the LGBT Center sponsored a panel discussion, "The Religious Right's Obsession with Gay Sex." We supposed that the pejorative title was meant to draw attention but hoped that the presentations would at least begin with a fair exposition of the views of religious conservatives on homosexual conduct and identity.
