<p>Ummm…this article is the topic of the thread “Sexual Mores in colleges…” started by jazzymom, with 4 comments by you :wink: Time for some sleep.</p>

<p>and it’s been quoted and discussed on the thread about lacrosse. How many threads do you need for a discussion about this?</p>

<p>Good Morning CGM!!! Did you just roll off the couch again? Brush those crumbs off your front, and make sure they don’t end up in your keyboard. It’s going to be a great day.</p>

<p>I haven’t been following the other two threads (I’ve learned to avoid anything with the word “mores” in the thread title, and the lacrosse thread is just too scary). This is the first reference I’ve seen to the Rolling Stone article - so thanks, cgm!</p>

<p>I see you’ve taken a beating here by most posters. My take on what you’re getting at (maybe I’m wrong) is the “death of outrage.” I personally believe that it might be helpful if we, as parents, exhibited a little more outrage and a little less relativism regarding the kinds of behavior the RS article describes.</p>

<p>True, this is happening at many (not all) colleges around the country. However, the article describes Duke specifically. I don’t personally have a problem with directing a little outrage towards the students at Duke behaving in this manner (which is demeaning to all our kids), and the administration in this case.</p>

<p>With all the talk of “helicopter parents” why would they stop when undergrad pops the top? I have wondered how parents seem to be involved in every other aspect of the college experience but not the boozing & banging. Is this just a continuation of the partying that the helicopters did?</p>

<p>That’s a very good point. We have an entire website, with half a milllion posts, examining (often in minute detail) the DIFFERENCES among colleges when it comes to their ability to serve up Serbo-Croat, but all of a sudden when it comes to college “cultures”, they are all the same.</p>

<p>(they’re not.)</p>
