Sexual assault victims come forward #metoo
Katherine Gurgenian | Staff Writer
Many people fight tooth and nail to
enter the Hollywood scene, striving for
fame and fortune. Once they achieve this,
some feel like they’re on top of the world
or like they can do anything, includ-
ing sexual assault-and get away with it.
As many know, last month,
Harvey Weinstein was accused by
many Hollywood A-listers and work-
ers for sexually assaulting them.
After the media blew up Weinstein’s sex-
ual assault cases, many men and women
took to social media platforms to show that
they too have been victims of sexual assault.
It all started with a sim-
ple tweet by actress and activ-
ist Alyssa Milano on Oct. 15, 2017.
“If you’ve been sexually harassed or assault-
ed write ‘me too’ as a reply to this tweet.”
Immediately, people flood-
ed her tweet with stories of their
own sexual assault experiences:
“My dad’s friend, and no one be-
lieved me,” twitter user @durva20 tweeted.
“Me too,” twitter user and Ham-
ilton actor @JMunozActor tweeted. “I don’t
know if [it] means anything coming from a
gay man, but it’s happened. Multiple times.”

Zingerman’s candy company was
imagined in 2002 by Charlie Frank and
became a reality in 2009. The Candy com-
pany thrived inside Zingerman’s Bakehouse
for several years it soon needed more space
so they bought a space three doors down
from the bakery in between Zingerman’s
Creamery and Coffee company. On Nov. 13,

“I stand with my sisters,” twitter
user @KevinBoseman tweeted. “And #MeToo.
Just started therapy to deal with my abuse 33
years ago and an assault in college. #MeToo.”
These events opened the gates
for other Hollywood workers speaking
out on their own sexual assault experi-
ences caused by other Hollywood stars.
“House of Cards” actor An-
thony Rapp recently spoke out about
how fellow actor Kevin Spacey sexual-
ly assaulted him when Spacey was 26
years old and Rapp was 14 years old.
Donald Trump grabbed numerous
girls by the p*ssy and talked about wanting
to screw his own daughter, Ivanka Trump.
Woody Allen sexually assaulted
his former adopted daughter many times.
Mike Tyson raped 18 year
old Desiree Washington in 1991
Bill Cosby has been accused of rape,
drug facilitated sexual assault, sexual battery,
child sexual abuse, and sexual misconduct.
Despite the large number of
sexual assaults that occur time and time
again in Hollywood, few do anything
about them. The sexual assaulters are
still haled as amazing actors, sports play-
ers, politicians, and so on. It never stops.

With the large incoming class of
freshman this year, seven hour days and the in-
troduction of IB classes, Huron’s enrollment
numbers are significantly higher than they
were in past years. Students have not signifi-
cantly been affected by this; however, it is a
different story for various teachers at Huron.
Due to more classes being offered
and more teachers being hired without the
addition of classrooms, several teachers have
to travel to different classrooms during the
day. To prevent teachers from having to move
every hour, block schedules were arranged
which meant more teachers would move,
but they would not have to every hour. How-
ever, this meant even more teachers needed
to move. The idea of teachers moving class-
rooms is not something new to Huron, since
other teachers have done so in past years.
“During one of my first years
of teaching I had to move between a class-
room (6216) in the building as well as
between two portables (8300 and 8400)
outside,” Spanish teacher Lisa Bares said.
“This moving between classrooms was very
challenging because not only was I mov-
ing between from inside to outside of the
building which doesn’t allow me to push
a cart around, but I was also moving to
different locations during passing time.”
Sharing classrooms has affect-
ed what activities teachers use to com-
municate information to their students.
It also has begun to limit the amount of
extra help to which students have access.
“The best activities in class are the
ones where students get to learn kinestheti-
cally and require massive amounts of prepa-
ration to cut out papers, photocopy, and to
set up activities around the room etc. These
are some activities I have had to cut from
lessons, since setting them up twice in two
different rooms is just too much of a burden.
We used to do this fun web-quest with com-
puters, forget it, this year, because dragging
the cart around three times a day during
crowded passing periods is just another
thing to raise my stress,” teacher *A said. Teacher Sara Badalamente decided it was time to ditch her cart and carry her supplies in a backpack.
