Yale suspends Bushes' fraternity for sexist chants
 Source: AP via Yahoo!

A prestigious Yale fraternity that counts both Bush presidents among its alumni is being banned from recruiting and activities on campus for five years after pledges were ordered to chant obscenities against women.

Yale says it has also disciplined several Delta Kappa Epsilon members and asked the fraternity's national office to suspend the chapter for five years.

The fraternity came under fire in October after pledges marched through campus and chanted phrases about sex acts including necrophilia. Chapter leaders later apologized, and the national fraternity office ordered them only to stop all pledge activities....

The students cite incidents in which fraternity members held up a sign saying, "We love Yale sluts" outside a women's center and chanted "no means yes" on campus last fall. They also say incoming female freshmen were ranked on attractiveness.

Actually, according to the Yale alumni magazine (Class of '85 here), they chanted "no means yes, yes means anal".

Good riddance. I always wondered why Yale brought back frats in the first place (they were banned altogether in the '70s and '80s).

5. Well, in fairness 
 I can't remember ever hearing Republicans actually claim that they respected women.

We treat them better then French Socialists...

...and the DUmbasses who defend French Socialists.

Dear Lurking DUmbasses,

Bush the Younger graduated Yale in 1968.

How does this, in any way, reflect on him?

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

We are talking about college boys, there were likely more Democrats than Republicans in the fraternity based on the fact that they are on a college campus.  Honestly, I don't see how anything more than "College boys made bad decision" can be read into this story.  Politics aren't even close to being an issue here.  :whatever:

When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

One would think that.

The bar seems to be set very low.

How about the way that you DUmmies feel about the throwbacks?
Ever see/hear about how they treat their women?
