World Can't Wait: Protest against the author of the torture memos: John Yoo, UC Berkeley Boalt Hall Law Professor
Graduates were greeted by people calling on them to wear orange ribbons and demand the firing and prosecution of war criminal John Yoo. Dozens of demonstrators mingled with graduates and their families along a mile stretch of Piedmont Avenue in Berkeley on Saturday morning. The protest against called on graduates, in the historic position as graduates of Boalt Hall (and now alumni) to demand that the UC law school not tolerate torture and those who are apologists for torture policies.
"Disdain for the recognition of basic human rights" (torture) is but one aspect of fascist societies as studied by Dr. Lawrence Britt, made possible by the catalyzing events of 9/11.
