Hooking up is, as indicated in the article, a deplorable trend. It's not limited to colleges though. It's prevalent in high schools and it's prevalent among young folks who don't go on to college. It's as prevalent among young right-wingers as any other group.
The idea that liberals on college campuses are the source of the problem is absurd. Those who label it as a left-wing problem are interested in propaganda rather than in trying to solve a serious problem.
