A
You
said
you
are
in
the
process
of
establishing
a
program
for
high
school
and
college
students,
in
which
you
speak
about
your
experience,
to
speak
out
against
the
college
campus
drinking
culture
and
the
sexual
promiscuity
that
goes
along
with
that
speak
out
against
campus
drinking
culture.
That's
what
we're
speaking
out
against
you
think!
That's
what
I've
spent
the
past
year
fighting
for
not
awareness
about
campus
sexual
assault
or
rape
or
learning
to
recognize
consent,
campus
drinking
culture
down
with
jack
daniels
down
with
skyy
vodka.
A
I,
don't
see
headlines
that
read
Brock
Turner
guilty
of
drinking
too
much
and
the
sexual
promiscuity
that
goes
along
with
that
campus
sexual
assault.
There's
your
first
PowerPoint
slide.
I
have
I,
have
done
enough
explaining
you
do
not
get
to
shrug
your
shoulders
and
be
confused
anymore.
You
do
not
get
to
pretend
that
there
were
no
red
flags.
You
do
not
get
to
not
know
why
you
ran.
You
have
been
convicted
of
violating
me
with
malicious
intent,
and
all
you
can
admit
to
is
consuming
alcohol.
