Illegal Kills Woman in Hit & Run Crash:  A 24-year-old man in the U.S. illegally has been charged with the Thanksgiving Day hit and run death of a Texas school teacher.  Genevieve Curtis of KFOX 14 reports that Joel Velazquez was free on bond from a 2017 assault charge when he blew through a red light Thanksgiving morning and hit 28-year-old Mandy Weyant, a sixth-grade teacher in El Paso.  The impact knocked the woman's body 50 feet, as Velazquez drove away.  Two days later he turned himself into police.  Because of his criminal record and illegal status, he is being held without bond.  "She was my  world, she was my wife's best friend but she was my baby girl," the victim's father told reporters.  How many like Velazquez are trying to jump the fence in San Diego this morning?  How many are walking into Arizona and New Mexico?    

The Rage Against Due Process on Campus:  A proposed rule from the U.S. Department of Education regarding the handling of sexual assault allegations on college campuses has been met with outrage by feminists and academic leaders.  Manhattan Institute scholar Heather MacDonald writes that the proposed rule for campus tribunals recommends a presumption of innocence, a higher standard of evidence to sustain a sexual assault charge, raising it from a preponderance of evidence to clear and convincing evidence.  It also allows and an advocate for the accused to question the accuser.  Currently many colleges and universities deny accused students the opportunity to review all the evidence, fail to provide an impartial decision-maker, ignore the presumption of innocence, and forbid the assistance of counsel.  Characteristic of the responses from feminists, the abortion rights group NARAL called the proposed rules "absolutely sickening."  MacDonald notes that the senior vice president of the American Council on Education produced the most self-damning argument against the proposed regulation. "Colleges and universities are not courts," Terry Hartle told the New York Times, "and these sorts of proceedings would require us to legalize student disciplinary proceedings. We lack the knowledge, the expertise, and credibility to do this."  This is probably true, and suggests that colleges get out of the rape-adjudication business entirely.
