We seem to have traveled a long ways from when, in 1765, there was published "Blackstone's ratio":

It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer.

We would rather see someone falsely accused than see someone avoid coming forward for fear of retribution for wrongly accusing someone.♠

The InstaPundit published the names of the Editorial Board.  Maybe shame will help these students learn.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
