Did you know that the reason people are sexually assaulted is because the perpetrators don't understand that rape is unacceptable? At least, that's what Obama seems to think.
Commenting on a recent White House study of rape on college campuses, Obama said, "We need to encourage young people, men and women, to realize that sexual assault is simply unacceptable." He goes on to say that he wants them to be "brave enough" to stand up and say so.
What does it say about our society that a person can get to college without knowing that rape is "unacceptable"? Beats me. And isn't it sad that pointing out that it is "unacceptable" requires "bravery"?
