In a clear rebuttal to the letter signed by 65 women asserting Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s “integrity,” old high school classmates of his accuser, professor Christine Blasey Ford, are signing a letter to show her their support.
Ford has accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault allegedly perpetrated when they were both in high school.
According to the Huffington Post, the letter had dozens of signatures by Monday morning.
Read the letter here:
We are alumnae of Holton-Arms School, and we are writing in support of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, a fellow Holton graduate.
We believe Dr. Blasey Ford and are grateful that she came forward to tell her story. It demands a thorough and independent investigation before the Senate can reasonably vote on Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to a lifetime seat on the nation’s highest court.
Dr. Blasey Ford’s experience is all too consistent with stories we heard and lived while attending Holton. Many of us are survivors ourselves.
Holton’s motto teaches students to “find a way or make one.” We dream of making a world where women are free from harassment, assault and sexual violence. We hold deep gratitude to Dr. Blasey Ford for bravely stepping forward and bringing us closer to that world we all seek.
Sincerely,
Holton Alumae in Support of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford
A group of 200+ alumnae from the classes of 1967-2018
I’m guessing these are examples of “Certain women [who] should be struck regularly, like gongs”…
Well, isn’t this just a pickle for Mitch McConnell. The crowing glory of his career might just go down in flames. Couldn’t happen to a nicer traitor. womp womp
Happy to see some kind of public support for Ford.
She is one lone individual who will be in the line of some unimaginable, incoming fire from the Senate and elsewhere.
Since the Women’s March you get the feeling the decent majority are moving to assert themselves, and today feels the same. Melville wrote a poem after Lincoln was assassinated called “The Martyr,” in which he described the people weeping but about to “bare the iron hand.” “Beware the People weeping/ When they bare the iron hand,” is the last line. They put a sexual harasser on the Supreme Court. Now they want to put a rapist. Enough is enough.
Betcha if you were to call the women who signed this letter, you wouldn’t receive any “no comments” or hang-ups like the purported 65 Kavanaugh “supporters.”
