Description | Directions: Teachers’ note: There are different ways you may choose to teach about the recent developments of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Keep your principal and department chair in the loop–share that you will be discussing the subject of sexual harassment and assault as part of the conversation. Consider inviting the school counselor to your class, as you discuss the news updates with your students. Most importantly, let your students know what counseling services are available at your school and the importance of talking to a parent or adult they trust, if they should feel the need to do so. 1. Before watching the video, read the latest update on the hearings using the article, Kavanaugh denies 2nd claim of sexual misconduct. Be sure to pre-read all sensitive material before using it with your students. 2. Read the summary below first, and then watch the NewsHour interview with The New York Times Magazine’s Emily Bazelon and NewsHour’s Hari Sreenivasan, Sexual assault survivors share stories with #WhyIDidntReport. After Dr. Christine Blasey Ford accused Supreme Court nominee Judge Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her in high school, President Donald Trump tweeted to ask for official filings. This sparked a movement on Twitter in which women shared stories of why they did not report sexual assault using #WhyIDidntReport. As always, preview all sensitive material before using it with your students. 3. Watch the video below pertaining to the sexual assault allegation made by Christine Blasey Ford against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh (see transcript). Depending on time, you may wish to watch additional videos and answer the questions below about Kavanaugh’s career and from four days of Senate Judiciary Committee hearings. Summary: The Senate Judiciary Committee’s hearings of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh came to a close more than a week ago. His confirmation vote has been delayed due to recent allegations that when Kavanaugh was in high school in the early 1980s, he allegedly sexually assaulted another teenager, Christine Blasey Ford, at a party. Prior to this development, lawmakers spent four days asking questions about the professional background of Kavanaugh, including prior court rulings he made throughout his career on the bench and working in the George W. Bush administration. Kavanaugh, President Donald Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court, clerked for Justice Anthony Kennedy, the retiring judge. Kavanaugh was a top official in the Ken Starr investigation of President Clinton and currently holds a seat on the powerful D.C. circuit court of appeals. Having a long political career in Washington D.C. comes with both strengths and challenges for Kavanaugh. Support for the candidate has fallen along party lines: Republicans support him and most Democrats oppose his nomination. September 18, 2018 videos and resources from PBS NewsHour.
