For two freshmen at Bowling Green State University, college isn't all it was cracked up to be. The AP report says it all:

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio -- A college freshman was charged with assault after authorities say she beat her new roommate with a hot clothes iron, hitting her so hard she fractured the young woman's skull and broke the iron into pieces.

The 18-year-old victim told authorities her roommate attacked her following their first day of classes after accusing her of putting a hidden camera in their room.

Heather Haase suffered a skull fracture, bruises, cuts and a burn on her arm in the early morning attack on Tuesday, university police said.

Her roommate, Sharronda Barkley, also 18, told officers Haase injured herself when she fell out of bed and hit the iron, according to a police report. Barkley was being held on $25,000 bond Thursday. A judge ordered her not to return to Bowling Green State University or have contact with Haase.

About 20 years ago, a girl at Northeast Mississippi Junior College beat her suitemate to death and let the murder victim's roommate find the body. She was not identified as the perp until she returned to the same college the next year and her roommate heard her talking in her sleep and called the police. I think she was released from prison in the last year or two. I'm happy to say that my daughter appears to get along well with the girls on her hall. It's hard enough to send your kid away without thinking about stuff like this.

If I've ever seen evidence of what those satanic left-wing indoctrinators in the academy can do, this is it. I mean, clearly we'll learn soon enough that Sharronda was told by her groupthinking Big-Brother-esque sensitivity training leader to assault her roommate. All those lit-crit critiques of domesticity are catching up with those ignorant, sheep-like, herd-ish, cattle-esque, groupthinking (did I already say groupthinking?) leftwing academics. Once you get rid of the nature/nuture divide, it's hook and claw fights between young women -- involving hot irons, no less. This is what happens when pinko-hippy Big Brother feminists "liberate" women from the glorious division of domestic labor: women should be demure, caring. I mean, I have two children, a boy and a girl, and I tried to follow those groupthinking childrearing books and raise my children "gender neutral," but nature caused my son to play with trucks and my daughter to play with a burping-farting-milk-suckling doll. (Yes, Larry Summers' children and mine went to the same daycare center.) And I can tell you this: my sweet little rose won't be striking any roommate with a hot iron! Not on my watch!

Shame on you, groupthinkers! I say!
