Following on the heels of No. 4, back over at Duke, (which attracts sexual assault scandals as much as Vin Diesel attracts photo-phobic, flaying alien predators), yet another scandal erupts with all the outrage as the lacrosse scandal.
Hahahahahahahhahahahaha.
Not.
In the Duke's continued resemblance of some Greek tragedy, it appears that the title should not be Oedipus Rex or Oedipus at Colonus, but more aptly named Pediphilius Text or Pediphilus at the Colon.
As the Chronicle reports, Frank Lombard, a Duke official and associate director for the Duke Center for Health policy was arrested for prostituting children for sex. Specifically, his own adopted son.
Congratulations to Duke University which has finally broken a long held monopoly on statutory rape by groups such as the AFT and NEA.
Online chatting sessions have been cited that Lombard was interested in incestuous relationships with children.
What is the major story behind this? Answer: Lombard is gay and his adopted son is black. Black rape at Duke? Surely Houston Baker and Karla F(ulla)C(rap) Halloway are protesting this one. Surely Lombard is "a farm animal" and Halloway has written another "Coda," Lubiano has called Lombard "a perfect offender."
A good example of the Duke University outrage over Lombard's actions can be heard here.
Just as Katie Rousse got shafted by Duke officials (well, in a different sense than Lombard's son got shafted), the silence behind Lombard's actions has been quite telling. The two events-the Jermaine Burch rape of Rousse and now Lombard have shown no similarities between the response from them and the rush to judgement and vitriolic hate speech and actions that came out of the media, faculty, administration, and other academic bastions of lunacy across the country during the Lacrosse Hoax.
Renegade professor Mike Adams over at Townhall.com has Lombard's wish list off of amazon, which as he very effectively demonstrates, is quite telling. The Free Republic and World Net Daily both are frothing at the mouth that the media, which went hog-wild over the lacrosse allegations has been silent up to now. We Hounds have checked and even the Foxes have been mum.
The most important question to ask at this point is how long Brodhead et al. have known about this? Could be a Heidi Hurd moment for Duke...

School daze
Judge Mike Jones has thrown out the lawsuit against McLean County schools for its role in the Jon Andrew White case. As everyone knows by now, Jon White was the Urbana school teacher who committed statutory rape with the blessing and knowledge of UI faculty members.*
We support the courage the families have in appealing the ruling.
Jones' said, as the N-G reports, that the lawsuits suggested that Normal officials passed off pedophiles to save face. Why? IFT backed-monies perhaps? This is ILL after all...
In fairness to Jones, at least he cannot be accused as a judicial activist. It would seem that he interpreted the letter of the law. However it begs the question: was this letter of the law equally invoked when/if Jones or any other county judge in ILL over saw a lawsuit that resulted from the Catholic priest scandals?
Further troubling is what business a Champaign County Judge has business doing ruling over events occurred in McClean County. The obvious answer: the lawsuits were filed in Champaign County. However, to use jurisdiction as a justification for dismissal in this case comes off as a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Jones writes in his ruling, "The public duty rule applies to schools. It essentially says municipalities don't owe a duty to protect individual citizens."
This is rather silly, since Jones' role of the municipality seems to directly contradict the definition of it's existence. As public education is coercive and mandatory, why in the world would it not be liable to protect individual citizens? On a larger scale, would not the municipality by its very nature be required to? If not the role of the municipality, then what is the role?
It seems the answer is to molest its citizens.

*In an act of cowardice and/or tacit guilt, the UI College of Education faculty directory no longer lists Gene Amberg. Does this mean that he is no longer teaching at the university? Or is it because it wants to hide the fact that they continued to employ an enabler to child molestation?

And Now
The Hounds have been occupied what with the Fourth of July (to all of you a Happy one, by the way) and its periphery task. But without further adieu, we start off with No. 4:
