Big Ten Schools Stage An In-Your-Face Take on Rape, Drinking and Social Media

At seven Big Ten schools this year, students are taking on the issues of rape and drinking, using theater and social media to spark debate. “Good Kids” is based on the true story of a gang rape in Steubenville, Ohio, when a girl was assaulted by football players after a party. On Friday, that case finally came to an end in the courts, with a guilty plea by the school’s former technology director. Critics had said many people tried to cover up the assault, and it was “hacktivists” like the group Anonymous who forced photos and video onto social media and into the light of day.
