    "Rom Coles" (at 1hr41) is one of the infamous "Duke 88".

    They signed an advert endorsing the actions of a lynch mob on campus. The mob harassed men who were victims of false rape allegations and called for sexual violence against them.

    Coles' wife also signed the advert and maliciously awarded an F grade to one of the victims of the false allegations when he had in fact passed. Coles and his wife left Duke after the student successfully sued but neither have apologised for their actions.

    Hey! Thanks for this helpful video. By the way, I notice a lot of people keep on talking about Xocialign System (do a google search), but I'm not sure if it is good. Have you ever tried program called Xocialign System? I have heard several extraordinary things about it and my mate completely stop his social anxiety naturally with this system.

    Finally, someone raises the issue of parental engagement and involvement. Without that factor in the developmental stages of a child, how can any meaningful progress be expected to happen
