54 years ago, four Kent State University students were shot dead by the Ohio National Guard for protesting the Vietnam War in Kent, Ohio.

This is a reminder of the dangers of state-sanctioned police violence. Dissent is always patriotic.

Especially in challenging times, it’s vital that universities resist pressure to impose harsh punishment on students for peacefully protesting.

Free expression is central to productive dialogue and is a cornerstone of our democracy—universities must be committed to defending it.

1) What fraternity does he represent? That fraternity’s national leadership needs to be contacted immediately and that frat should be barred from campus.

Black girls account for 32% of all girls in juvenile facilities, but make up just 14% of girls nationwide.

Why? 'Adultification.'

They're seen as older & more culpable than their peers – leading to more contact & harsher consequences within the juvenile justice system.

This man had a toxic relationship with our client, and now he’s asking a court to force her—and those he believes were involved—to give him info about how she obtained the alleged abortion.

The purpose of this baseless action is to intimidate and harass. washingtonpost.com/investigations…
