Do you believe that child molesters can be rehabilitated?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on April 01, 2005
“It's so hard to define rehabilitation. I think morality plays too large a role in it, so it is difficult to give a yes or no answer. I guess it all depends on your point of view.”
— John Schlueter, Kansas University senior, Lawrence
“No, because history has shown that they don't stop what they are doing wrong. As Lewis Carroll said, 'Off with their heads!'”
— JoAnne Grandstaff, KU graduate student, Lawrence
“Only if we can make them wear a scarlet P on their chest.”
— Heather Scott, comptroller, Lawrence
“I would have to say to leave that up to the powers that be. I guess institutionalization is the only tool we have to deal with someone that would do something that ridiculously wrong and totally unacceptable.”
— Eqo, philosopher, Lawrence
