Profs Allow Students to Attend ‘Moment of Silence’ for Kavanaugh Accusers

This happened at Mississippi State. It’s reminiscent of the madness we saw after the 2016 election.

Campus Reform reports:

EXCLUSIVE: Class canceled, students excused for Kavanaugh accusers ‘moment of silence’

At least two professors at Mississippi State University canceled class or excused students for a planned “moment of silence” for the women accusing Supreme Court justice nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault more than 30 years ago.

Multiple MSU faculty and staff members attended the silent protest, which was focused on expressing solidarity with the women who have accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault. But only a few students attended, even with the offer of being excused from class.

Faculty and staff members, most of whom wore black, held signs saying “We Believe Dr. Christine Blasey Ford,” “#MeToo,” and “#BelieveSurvivors.”

According to an email obtained by Campus Reform, a professor teaching Sociology of Families canceled his entire class for the protest.

“THERE IS NO CLASS TODAY,” the professor’s email to students states. “At 12pm on Monday, September 24th, there will be a national walkout in support of Dr. Blasey Ford and all survivors of sexual violence.”

The professor encouraged students who could not attend the protest to get involved using social media, instead.
