Students held a sit-in today at Yale Law School to protest the Kavanaugh nomination while some of their classmates traveled to Washington, D.C. for a similar protest. Classes were canceled to make time for all the protesting. From the Cut:

Today, 115 YLS students bussed down to the U.S. Capitol, while dozens of others are occupying their school’s halls in a sit-in to demand that the Senate committee conduct a fair and impartial investigation into the mounting sexual-assault allegations against Kavanaugh.

By early Monday morning, members of the law school faculty had already cancelled 31 of the day’s scheduled classes in anticipation of the planned student actions, which follow last week’s silent protest. Law student Dana Bolger, who’s among the 115 YLS students protesting at the Supreme Court and meeting with senators in Washington, D.C., today, told the Cut that everyone is “mad as hell.”

Meanwhile, in New Haven, students dressed in black filled YLS’s halls, where an organizers told protestors that as a community, they were there to “discuss the very real threat that Brett Kavanaugh poses to this country” and “to show that we take allegations of sexual assault and harassment seriously.” Connecticut senator and Yale graduate Richard Blumenthal also made an appearance at the sit-in, where he told students, “There is no way that the US Senate, in good conscience, can vote on this nomination without a full investigation.”

The protest at Yale Law School included a moment of silence with students dressed in black sitting on the floor

If Yale (or any other college) is going to display such obvious political activist bias it should cease to be a tax free institution just like a church.

Cut Yale’s federal funding and start taxing it as a corporation.

Law Students who believe that the Accused is Guilty until proven Innocent. They also seem to believe that an Accusation alone with absolutely no Evidence / Proof to back it up is as good as a Guilty Verdict.

I thought you had to be really smart to get accepted to Yale Law School.

My mistake.

If I was charged with the responsibility of professional hiring for any major organization (I once wore that hat for a while),I would not even look at an application from Yale University.

If I were a graduate of Yale, when the annual solicitation for donations arrived in the mail, it would immediately go into the trash basket.

It sounds like Yale needs to register as a political organization, and fall under all such related laws.

These people don’t even consider that they may be destroying a good man and his family over lies.

I personally think they have. . . IMHO that's what makes them an evil lot along with those they try to emulate.

“Blumenthal is such scum”

Couldn’t agree more with you!

This piece of work who held myself out as serving in Vietnam and still can’t come clean without providing some weak-kneed excuse.

He is an abomination and gives scum a bad name.

Listening to him speak gives me the creeps

As they say, the issue is never the issue. The issue is the Revolution.

When these skulls-full-of-mush snowflakes get the world they were told to create....be prepped, be away from them and watch the show. From a safe distance, if at all possible.
