When Mackenzie was named a Rhodes Scholar, I tweeted: "A richly deserved honor for one of the grittiest and most compassionate public servants I know." I stand by those words. I stand by Mackenzie. Today I am proud of my friend and ashamed of my alma mater #MackenzieFierceton

#firebethwinkelstein
#firewendywhite Their behavior is beyond despicable. Let their targeting of a survivor be the last straw. Upenn should be ashamed to have them.

[Tala @TeacherTalaa]

#BelieveMackenzie and all survivors of abuse. Always.

@JoanneLeeJacobs @funchefchick @cg_geometry @cramerjaotto @arthomason @tebartl She broke her back. How is that minor?

[Tala @TeacherTalaa]

@philly_nate @chronicle ON TOP OF THAT this student’s academic record alone qualifies her for presitigous achievements and more. She is a survivor who fought tooth and nail to make something of herself and do good for other foster youth. Don’t you think someone like that deserves our support?

[Tala @TeacherTalaa]

@philly_nate @chronicle Too many inconsistencies? The university recieved testimonies from nurses who cared for her after a traumatic brain injury. They saw medical documents of the abuse. The state removed her from her home for no reason? Why do we feel so comfortable denying survivors?

[Gabe Salgado @SalgadoGabe]

Seems like the real story is Penn’s (alleged) attempts to discredit a survivor of child abuse because she came forward with evidence implicating the university in a wrongful death lawsuit

[Tala @TeacherTalaa]

@DPoolAU @anfuller This was a dumpster fire. A survivor of horrific trauma is targeted through a sham investigation as retaliation for acting as a witness against Penn in a wrongful death law suit.WILD

[Tala @TeacherTalaa]

@anfuller What it is is DESPICABLE. A survivor of horrific trauma is targeted through a sham investigation as retaliation for acting as a witness against Penn in a wrongful death law suit

@FreeLibrary censors children’s book on Palestine after being bullied by Zionist organizations. Shameful.

This actions violates every principle they claim to stand for. Being Anti-Palestinian, pro-brutal occupation is not a good look for a wanna be social justice space.

Amy Gutmann's moral character is more than questionable, she has most recently been involved in the terrorisation of a student survivor of child abuse. Her staff called those who committed unspeakable harm against her as witness in a witch hunt. Despicable. @JoeBiden

A message to the Penn community on her nomination to serve as United States Ambassador to Germany, from President Amy Gutmann https://t.co/4bDLX2A4qe

@POTUS

[Tala @TeacherTalaa]

Gutmann's nomination specifically as news breaks about her staffs aggressive campaign against a survivor of child abuse. I wonder how @BIDEN will feel when he know she approved calling abusers as witnesses against a survivor who did everything she could to be safe from them

[Richard W. Painter @RWPUSA]

The Biden Administration is far better than the Trump Administration, but that doesn't mean we don't call out ethics issues, including Hunter's art sales, the Amy Gutmann nomination and the potential nomination of Comcast lobbyist David Cohen.
"Look what Donny did " is no excuse.

[Tala @TeacherTalaa]

Would you consider allowing your provost Beth Winklestein to waste university resources on a witch hunt against a survivor of abuse an accomplishment? A student who has survived unmentionable trauma has been re-victimized under your watch. @biden should rethink this decision

[Tala @TeacherTalaa]

This woman has overseen the SHAMEFUL treatment of a survivor of child abuse. Her staff has been in direct communication with an abuser to discredit a student. Instead of protecting those you are meant to serve, you forced her to relive trauma and tried to destroy her life SHAME.
