Please Do Not Remain Silent: Georgetown Prep Alumni Issue Call to Action on Behalf of Christine Fordby Colin Kalmbacher | 9:46 am, September 30th, 2018
Alumni from Georgetown Prep are calling on their fellow graduates of the elite preparatory school to come forward with information about Brett Kavanaugh if they have it.
The self-described call to action comes in light of the FBIs re-opened background investigation into the embattled Supreme Court nomineewhich is reportedly only focused on two sexual assault allegations leveled against him by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and former Yale acquaintance Deborah Ramirez.
Posted to the Medium and Google Docs platforms late Saturday morning, the open letter takes aim at Georgetown Preps by-now-infamous principles of service and notes:
Georgetown Prep calls on its graduates to serve others. Principles of ethics, virtue, and justice constitute the foundation of a Prep education. These principles are but empty words unless we act on them. So we are calling on our fellow alumni to put the best of what Prep stands for into action.
The letter also explicitly calls for anyone with knowledge of Kavanaughs alleged sexual assaults to provide that information to the FBI on their own volitionperhaps particularly relevant in light of NBC News bombshell report that President Donald Trump personally intervened to severely limit the scope of the FBIs inquiry into Kavanaugh.
