Over 200 alumnae of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's private high school, Holton-Arms, have now signed a draft letter supporting her and demanding an independent investigation into her allegation that she was the victim of a violent assault by Trump Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh while a student at the school.
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.
In a separate statement, current Holton-Arms Head of School Susanna Jones praised Ford for coming forward. “As a school that empowers women to use their voices, we are proud of this alumna for using hers.”
