Stop The Rape Culture: Cutting Spending to Higher Education Prevents Sexual Predators From Making It to Campus


Carpe Diem has some commentary on the "alleged" rape problem on campus:
Accurate statistics are of limited use because rape and sexual assault have been declining for decades. So the Obama administration and its allied activist groups trot out the claim that there is a rape epidemic victimizing 1 in 5 women on college campuses. This conveniently horrifying number is a classic example of being too terrible to check. If it were true, it would mean that rape would be more prevalent on elite campuses than in many of the most impoverished and crime-ridden communities.
Should Congress cut spending to higher education to stop this rape culture??? Less spending from the Department of Education means less predators on campus. Because keeping rapists off campus starts with limiting the ability of rapists to pay tuition. Only the Department of Education knows how many rapists on campus are there via Pell grants and Stafford loans (the inner core of the enabling of the rape culture). If getting rid of the Department of Education ,and student loans, could stop one rapist on campus wouldn't it be worth it to stop the horror of the current rape culture on campus? Did this alleged rapist go to college via Pell grants or other student loans subsidized by the federal government?
