What we shouldn't learn from the Duke lacrosse hoax

Let's consider what we need not learn from the Duke lacrosse hoax, courtesy of the righteous Reverend Tom Ehrich, who, apparently has lost his way:

Duke should be leading the way in a national reassessment of student life, campus ethics, entitlement and privilege, academic freedom, gender relations, underage alcohol use, exposure to liability for failure to provide a safe environment, and the role of over-involved parents.

Finally, the three exonerated young men need to learn from this episode. They have had a sobering look inside the criminal justice system, which should give them sympathy for the many who are unfairly accused.

"national reassessment of student life" - I call for a national reassessment of drunken, stoned stripper life

"campus ethics" - I think prosecutorial ethics are a bit of a pressing lesson

"entitlement and privilege" - maybe they 'bought' justice, but they shouldn't have had to. It is the duty of the JUSTICE system to provide it freely.

"academic freedom" - the right to accuse innocent students of grievous crimes doth not fall under the banner of academic freedom. The Duke 88 be damned.

"gender relations" - drunken and emotionally unstable strippers should do as little relatin as possible

"underage alcohol use" - yawn

"exposure to liability for failure to provide a safe environment, and the role of over-involved parents" - these two are so incoherent and ridiculous - I'll just relegate them to the 'wtf' category

"sympathy for the many who are unfairly accused" - shouldn't this lesson be directed towards the lying accusers and their enablers in the JUSTICE system?
