\nQuote – It was a an interview I watched in 2020 with one of Baylor\u2019s aggrieved accusers that helped me understand how I could have been blind for so long to the pattern of misogyny coursing through Starr\u2019s career. Describing a meeting with Starr about her ordeal, she said that he shed a tear along with her, made her feel heard, but did nothing to help get justice for her or the many other female students who came forward with allegations. Unless you count what he said in one interview, \u201cWe grieve for what happened. But that doesn\u2019t mean that you can\u2019t say it\u2019s a new day. That\u2019s the biblical perspective that we try to live up to here at Baylor University.\u201d Shamelessly and effectively, he shoved rape allegations under the carpet in the name of Christianity.

\nQuote – \u201cEmergency responders were dispatched, and when they arrived at Herring\u2019s home, guns drawn, they called for Herring to walk toward them, keeping his hands visible. As he did so, Herring, 60, appeared to lose his balance and fell to the ground, unresponsive. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital; cause of death was determined to be a heart attack.\u201d
\nClick through for details<\/a>. We’re familiar with “Sex sells,” and “If it bleeds it leads.” Maybe weneed a new saying regarding the amount of media attention triggered by pur craziness.<\/p>\n
\nQuote – “I guess I look nice. Approachable. Like I wouldn’t rip your head off. I am nice, most of the time. But not always. And I lost my temper.”
\nClick through<\/a>. It’s not terribly long. And I figured we needed a feel-good story after those horror stories above.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/uploads.disquscdn.com\/images\/0a767e66c249e524b7f1f90c8d93079ddba1d85c4d915d8ee942b4d9507c6a4e.jpg\")
