If you've been accused you're more than 50% likely to be guilty. We can save a TON of time, headaches and heartaches for the victims and money by presuming guilt on the accused and forcing the defendant to prove innocence rather than the other way around. This IMO is the most progressive way of handling the legal system. So yeah if you've been accused of something on campus, to protect the potential victim we should treat you as guilty and allow you to try and prove your innocence afterwards.

It's pretty hilarious that people are interpreting this post as being serious.

It's less hilarious that once you get past their deliberately obscure language, this is basically what a lot of apparently very well-educated people believe. And it's even less hilarious that those people see themselves as "liberal".

Liberalism, or at least "progressivism" I've discovered more and more is just full of hypocracy, and isn't in fact progressive at all, but actually REgressive.. They've in many ways become exactly what the claimed to once stand against, and more. That's why I've long since let liberalism go, and gone more towards classical liberal/libertarianism.
