Just not believing 'em.
Progressives/Liberals have always been able to make up lies and use their control of the media and the schools to keep them circulating.
But more and more, folks are simply rolling their eyes, and identifying them as self-serving deceptions.
So says Naomi Schaefer Riley....
1. ".... recent revelations that the gang-rape story at UVa was made up, that Lena Dunham wasn’t actually sexually assaulted by a college Republican named Barry (and perhaps not at all), people may start wondering why the young and well-educated are so inclined to lie —
2. ... colleges and the culture at large are pressuring them to do so.
3. If there is an epidemic of rape on campus, why do people need to make up stories to prove it? If there is structural racism everywhere, why keep making up incidents of bigotry?
4. ....the perpetrators inevitably get their way — even when it’s a hoax, the administration engages in days of handwringing and re-education.
5. [It] isn’t simply how very few real racial incidents occur on college campuses these days, but something bigger:
College students feel pressured to find a cause from very early on in their days on campus, and if they want to lend that cause some legitimacy, they need a story of personal struggle that brought them to it.
6. You can join one of the many feminist groups on campus. But if you want people to take you seriously, you should probably have some kind of discrimination, abuse or even assault in your past.....you need to be traumatized. The personal is political, as they say.
7. But most of the students at Oberlin or UVa or the University of Chicago haven’t really been through a lot — at least in the sense they want to mean it, which is why their “narratives” are so often embellished."

So teaching Liberals-in-Training to lie is what college has become.

- A black student at Sweet Briar College in Virginia this fall put “white” and “colored” signs up on campus to show others, as she explained, “We can never really shake the past.”
- A University of Chicago student admitted last month to perpetrating a racist attack on his own Facebook page. It turned out to be part of his effort to get the administration to incorporate racial and ethnic studies into the core curriculum.
- Oberlin canceled classes last year in the wake of a report of a sinister figure in a KKK robe hanging around the Afrikan Heritage House. It turned out to be someone in a blanket.
