SALT LAKE CITY — Cloudy skies and cold weather didn't stop around 100 West High School students from walking out of class Wednesday to protest how they say school administration handles reports of sexual harassment and assault.
Sophomore Tarralynn Bui said she helped organize the 45-minute walkout. She said there have been recent reports of students being sexually assaulted and harassed by multiple students in and outside of school, but claims nothing was done after reporting the incidents. Speaking to the crowd, one student said despite doing everything she was taught to do — never walking alone, carrying pepper spray, checking her car before getting in — she was still assaulted.
West High administration declined to comment about the protest and a call to a spokeswoman for the Salt Lake City School District was not immediately returned.
Why aren’t they taking sexual harassment to the cops instead of the rubber stamp state system? Or better yet maybe take it there now
