Trump and DeVos are subverting the civil rights of sexual assault victims.

It may be that women will be safer living off campus and relying on state and federal laws to protect them. Women will need to organize "safety clubs" to recognize their rights on campus and seek student government laws to protect both men and women from becoming victims to wayward Trump insensitivity. Basically, women will be on their own and they always have better outcomes when they organize to be safe and happy.

The changes the Trump administration is enacting are micromanaging THE MOMENT there is sexual assault, it is an assault on civil rights and will not stand the test of the legal system until perhaps it gets to the Supreme Court.

This is the face of the US Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos. She is the face used to delegitimize the claims of women for a safer world.

It follows the bruising confirmation fight for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who was accused of sexual assault at a house party when he was in high school three decades ago. Two other women made similar accusations. Kavanaugh vehemently denied all of them....

The domain BrettKavanaugh.com is now a dedicated forum for helping sexual assault victims and ending rape. The website, titled "We believe survivors," was purchased by Fix The Court, which advocates for judicial transparency.

Kavanaugh, who was accused by three women of sexual assault when he was in high school and college, was sworn in to the Supreme Court on Saturday and his first day on the courtwas Tuesday. He has denied all of the allegations against him.

Kavanaugh's confirmation drew intense scrutiny after Christine Blasey Ford, a California professor, testified before Congress about Kavanaugh's alleged assault on her when they were teens. The allegations and resulting debate around the country over Kavanaugh's future was viewed as a major test of the #MeToo movement....
