Lick-Wilmerding students Nayeli Yazmin, left, and Eliana Goldfarb speak during a walkout at San Francisco's Balboa Park on April 29, 2022.More than 300 students walked out of classrooms at one of the San Francisco Bay Area’s most elite private schools on Friday afternoon to raise awareness of the sexual assault and harassment young adults face and to encourage the school’s administration to acknowledge and respond to it.
The organizers said in an information packet that the purpose of the walkout was “to raise awareness and hold the LWHS community accountable for their role in perpetuating rape culture and maintaining silence around matters regarding sexual assault and sexual harassment.” Throughout the afternoon, the Lick students repeatedly referred to the “hookup culture” that they say is prevalent at off-campus parties and encourages casual sexual encounters from kissing to sex. Some students worry that these casual sexual encounters don’t allow for emotional connection and can be harmful, especially when consent isn’t given.
More like elite privileged youth with literally the easiest path to wealth and success in the world pretending to be aggrieved victims. These kids are your future lobbyists, scumbag ceos and whatever other corporate raider profession they choose. But they are victims!
Hundreds of kids protesting the hookup culture...times they are a-changin'!
