This week history teacher hosts Mr. Linden and Ms. Ratledge consider the recent protests after the murder of Sara Everard, a 33 year old female who seems to have been targeted merely because she was a female walking alone through London at night. After what felt like another series of 'you should' lists from the police to women about their safety, activists have been on the street calling for a reckoning with a society that scolds women but doesn't school men against violence. Though women have always been involved in protest movements, and certainly in activism advocated for equal rights, this time feels a little different. Ms. Ratledge and Mr. Linden talk about some historical precedents for these conversations and about how important it is that the conversation is going beyond what it has before. Perhaps that is what will impact real change.
