    Valedictorian's mic is cut off as she starts to mention alleged sexual assault on campus: "They told me to be quiet, told me I can't talk about it." https://abcn.ws/2JrbxIp pic.twitter.com/BVVaDgU9kr

        What’s out of control is the amount of people that wish to silence survivors. What’s out of control is society’s unwillingness to support or believe survivors w/o a signed confession from the attacker, a video of the incident & God himself personally verifying it happened.

        Only 6 of 1,000 reports results in any jail time. In spite of 92-98% of reports being true. Perpetrators are doing just fine. Overall, its survivors that are being denied due process.

        A kit would have done nothing for me as I rushed home and just wanted to get clean and then didn't even tell anyone for a day until i told my friend. It was then several weeks before I talked to anyone besides my friend and a non reporting victim counselor

        Sorry that is just wrong. She has earned the right to give a speech. It is her forum. Let her speak. We cannot quite the victims to hide the guilty. Lets help them heal. It was very brave for her to do this too. what a shame.

        If your first thought after reading this is, “the school was right because this isn’t the right platform to use”, then your wrong. Dead wrong.

        According to most of these replies, people are fine with hindering free speech and giving sexual-assaulters all the cover they need.

        Thosis how we treat at our young people. This is an example of the treatment that dictatorship imposed upon their citizens. This lack of respect towards the young people, is one more flawed of our society and decay of our democracy. Speak freely, decency and dignity, and respect.

        American censorship. She survived an attack thats part of her college story. She doesn’t have to name the person- but she has the right to list the incident as something that she overcame while valedictorian.

        As tragic as it, is this was part of her experience at her school. You’re supposed to talk about your experience at your school when giving your valedictorian speech. She should have been allowed to say what needed to be said.

        Glad she posted her entire speech on utube in case you want to see. Thanks @abc for posting. Another case of conservatives trying to silence and discredit the strong and wonderful kids around the country.

        Well turning off her mike was bad. However, hookup culture is a product of the Sexual Revolution, so if hookup culture is or contributes to sexual assault and we assume that sexual assault on college campuses is widespread, then we can definitively say that feminism caused this.
