Hey, Something Funny From The Duke Lax Case

Let’s take a trip back to the summer of ’06, when the three biggest news stories were Pluto being shunned as a planet, The Crocodile Hunter being murdered by a sting ray and, of course, the Duke lacrosse sex scandal. ↵↵I’ll spare you all the details of the case, but it went a little something like this: Stripper Crystal Mangum (right) accuses Duke lax players of raping her, which turned out to be a horrible lie resulting in the Duke students’ lives being ruined (at least, temporarily). But whatever happened to Ms. Mangum, you’ve surely never wondered? Well, I’ll tell you: She graduated from North Carolina Central University last week. ↵

↵↵Now, normally I wouldn’t care enough to bring this detail to your attention, but there is some incredibly sweet irony in this story that we can’t even attempt to make up: She earned her degree in “police psychology.” Man, that’s rich. ↵

↵↵This was in the last sentence of a much larger column in the Duke student paper, which mostly serves to rip Mangum – and NCCU -- to shreds. And while I don’t necessarily disagree with most of the column, this lead will do little to improve Duke’s image of self-righteousness:↵

↵↵⇥It seems anyone can get a college degree these days-especially if they go to North Carolina Central University.↵↵Yes, anyone can get a college degree, but no one can judge others quite like Dookies.
