Hundreds of Harvard Law Students Walk Out of Class to Support Kavanaugh Accusers
Hundreds of Harvard Law School students organized a walkout to protest the Supreme Court nomination of Brett M. Kavanaugh, who faced allegations of sexual assault. The demonstrators gathered to call for justice and support for Kavanaugh’s accusers. The walkout occurred in response to allegations from Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez, who accused Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct during high school and college, respectively. Despite Kavanaugh's denials and impending testimony, the protestors demanded a full investigation into the allegations before allowing him to continue teaching at Harvard. Law School Dean John F. Manning and other administrators have remained largely silent on the issue, maintaining that personnel matters are confidential.| Creator |
