Let her communicate!” the group of a whole lot chanted, a number of holding up indicators bearing Tabassum’s face.USC is barring the valedictorian from talking at its Might 10 graduation — a primary within the college’s 143-year historical past — over unspecified security threats, Provost Andrew T. Guzman introduced in a campus-wide letter Tuesday. The transfer got here after pro-Israel teams criticized Tabassum for a hyperlink on her Instagram profile directing folks to a pro-Palestinian web site.Teams on and off campus say the positioning is proof that the graduating senior is antisemitic, which Tabassum denied in an interview with The Occasions.“It’s now not about free speech. It’s now not about me. It's about when the college silences me, they're silencing all these folks,” Tabassum mentioned, referring to pro-Palestinian activists.On Thursday, college students and school initially walked silently within the warmth whereas media choppers hovered overhead. Many wore head coverings, together with beanies, hoodies, hijabs and keffiyehs, and a few had tape over their mouths to characterize what they name Tabassum’s unjust silencing. College students, school and pro-Palestinian activists from off campus joined Thursday’s largely silent march at USC. (Wally Skalij / Los Angeles Occasions) “This campus has been hostile to Muslim voices, Palestinian voices, people who find themselves calling out the genocide taking place,” mentioned Maideh Orangi, a USC senior who attended the protest in assist of Tabassum. “That is simply one other instance of that.”Orangi, co-chair of the varsity’s Center Japanese North African Pupil Meeting, mentioned there had been tensions on campus for the reason that Oct. 7 assault in Israel, together with when an economics professor was quickly banned from the college grounds after being seen on video calling for the killing of members of Hamas.“In current months, it’s change into extra tame and mellow on campus, as a result of that’s simply how issues settle after some time,” mentioned Orangi, who famous she was talking just for herself, and never for her scholar group. “However this has introduced all of it again to a peak.”Orangi, an Iranian American and hijab-wearing Muslim, mentioned that the assaults and “silencing” of Tabassum felt “larger than one scholar.”The protest, deliberate as a “silent march,” was calm and orderly. College students and school talked softly amongst themselves as they adopted these forward of them down campus paths.“That is nothing in comparison with the disruption we’re going to see at graduation,” one scholar mentioned.“She labored so exhausting for the respect of talking,” mentioned one other.USC public security officers in uniform adopted the group on bikes however didn't intervene. Though some protesters held indicators in assist of Tabassum, no chants rose from the group till close to the tip of the protest. Protesters chanted, “Let her communicate!” after initially marching silently in assist of valedictorian Asna Tabassum, some carrying her picture. (Wally Skalij / Los Angeles Occasions) The gang got here to a cease close to Allyson Felix Area and broke the silence with calls of, “Let her communicate!”Previous to the on-campus demonstration, Sabrina Jahan, a pro-Israel Jewish scholar concerned within the Chabad Jewish Heart at USC, mentioned she would keep away from the realm close to Thursday’s protest. “I don’t see me displaying as much as this silent protest as one thing that might be productive for both facet,” Jahan mentioned.The 22-year-old enterprise administration main from Los Angeles mentioned she noticed these demonstrating as combating for the mistaken trigger. Jahan mentioned that her personal place on Tabassum has “nothing to do together with her non secular beliefs and nothing to do together with her tutorial achievement” — however that she feels the views the valedictorian linked to on social media are “clearly antisemitic.”Saying the protest “represents a double customary,” she requested: “If a valedictorian was chosen who was discriminatory and promotes hate speech towards another racial minority, would we've allowed them to be chosen for this place or communicate? No.”The college had “made the mistaken alternative within the valedictorian and in how you can deal with the controversy,” she added. The protest on USC’s campus Thursday had some college students avoiding the realm altogether. (Wally Skalij / Los Angeles Occasions) Jahan described a local weather by which some Jewish college students, like herself, really feel “villainized as a menace.” USC’s lack of transparency surrounding safety threats, she mentioned, had brought on others to “assume it's Jewish people who find themselves making them.”“USC solely cited safety — very vaguely — as why she won't communicate. By doing so that they put each Jewish and Muslim communities in a a lot worse and harmful place on campus,” Jahan mentioned.Sarah Schornstein, a Jewish graduate scholar who was on campus Thursday, mentioned she was additionally avoiding the protest — however not as a result of she fully disagreed with it.“I’m a free speech absolutist,” mentioned Schornstein, who research public diplomacy. “I’m simply not huge on protests.”“I agree that she linked to issues that had been clearly antisemitic — a web page calling for the dissolution of Israel,” she mentioned of Tabassum. “However finally, we don’t know what she was going to say” at commencement.

all love, 🌟
THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! ; and I decided to go with hook w this one cause why not lol ; thanks for requesting 🌟! hope you enjoy!
JAMES HOOK ; valedictorian
summary ; as class valedictorian, hook is infatuated with you
warnings ; language
word count ; 280
masterlist
he loves how smart you are
he parades it around like a trophy for you
"well, my lover is smarter than you'll ever be. maybe they can conjure up a little revenge for you?"
"hook!"
"yes maam"
you're practically doing his homework atp
you're insanely smart (obv since you're valedictorian) so if he or the other vk's need help, he's sending himself/them to you
"these two are like, if sulfur was a liquid, right?"
"yup. more toxic than your behavior after a bad nap"
"y/n."
if you're an AK (auradon kid) then your relationship was definitely rocky at first
you kinda just deal with his friends cause he's ur boyfriend
he's nice enough to you at least
he's honestly super nice to everyone when uliana isn't around, he's gotta keep up appearances as a VK
but it's your brains that draw him to you
he's just so infatuated with you and how quickly you can solve a problem and how easily you find mental challenges
if you're a VK (villain kid) then you've definitely known each other long enough for him to have known you were insanely smart
he's always trying to get you a spot into conversation when the group is talking about a new prank or some sort of plan to invoke evil upon the AK's
"y/n, what do you think?" he asks, seeing you'd been rather shut out by uliana and hades
you shrug. "it needs more pizzazz"
"i agree" he shrugs, looking back at the debating duo. "add pizzazz"
"what does pizzazz mean in this context?" hades chuckles
"a spell, at least. whatre we planning? to shove them in a locker?"
he loves you

Back in high school, my brother liked going to high school football games, but he did not like paying to get into them, so he used to go to the school before the game and get on the bus with the band. The director definitely knew he wasn't in the marching band and didn't care. One time someone in the band called him out and asked him what instrument he played, and he said, "piano."

AU where Stiles and Derek are both in high school and they have this long standing rivalry that started years ago back when they were still in elementary school and they hate each other, absolutely despise each other. Do they remember why? Not really, but they do know they must beat the other at all costs.
Derek is captain of the basketball team and Stiles does track. They both have trophies and awards, Derek has won the state championship ever since he started playing, and Stiles gets gold or silver in all of his events during competitions. Their GPA is exactly the same, Stiles is a History genius and Derek always aces English. They both suck at Chemistry, and they hate Harris. It's the only thing they ever agree on.
The only other highlight of their high school career besides their epic and everlasting hate-hate relationship is the anonymous person they've been talking to through annotated books.
Stiles blames his impulsiveness, because one day in freshman year he picked up a book full of little notes in the margin of the pages in the library and decided to answer all of them with his own little insights. Somehow he ends up having entire conversations made in intervals of a few days, in the form of words written on paper.
Derek? Well, he likes to annotate books and have mini conversations with himself, and he uses a pencil to write them, it’s not like he’s permanently damaging school property or anything! He starts caring less and less about that, though, when someone starts leaving answers to his annotations, much more invested on the conversations than on the preservation of school property.
Now, years later, about eighty percent of the library's books contain little messages and full blown conversations between two complete strangers. Stiles and Derek are about to graduate, and neither of them knows who this other person is. Which is a tragedy because they're pretty sure this mysterious person is the love of their life.
Spoiler alert: they're right.

god i love marcille and i adore my fellow marcille enjoyers, but i think a lot of yall forget that shes literally one of the most talented healers in the magic academy's history.
she went to study healing magic (specifically studying disease and injury*), MASTERED it as a young adult, and then CREATED BRAND NEW HEALING SPELLS*??? like. she isnt just a replacement for falin, she is objectively of equal (or potentially greater) skill when it comes to restorative magics!
now some of you will say that her healing is worse because it hurts, but that's just because she believes that tampering with somebody's ability to feel recovery pain is too risky to justify doing**.
idk maybe im thinking too much about it but some of you...... some of you arent giving her the credit she deserves! put some respect on my girls name !!!!!!! anyway. happy pride month transfems and lesbians and transfem lesbians

V FOR VALEDICTORIAN character introduction :
J.B. DECKER, the librarian.
here's the next character intro with j.b.!! honestly, i think she's my favorite out of the whole cast design wise. she's just so much fun to draw for me.
i haven't started on her intro yet, but the next character i'll be sharing is our victim, victoria valentine!
( alt text for j.b.'s bio below! ) ⤵
Justine B. Decker, Also known as J.B.
Chumbridge College's Chief Librarian who is known for keeping meticulous care of the Library. Has been working in the position for a little over 6 years, having previously worked as an assistant librarian while attending Chumbridge for her masters.
Generally well liked by students and staff due to her polite nature and cordial personality. She also isn't afraid to be straightforward with others when needed. Describes herself as an "open book."
Legal guardian of her niece, Drew. Gets exacerbated by her antics,
but clearly loves and cares for her deeply. They have no other
living relatives so they're the only family either has left.
Her brother and sister-in-law were both killed in a breaking and entering gone horribly wrong 3 years ago, the culprit was never
found and the case has since gone cold.
Fairly familiar with the victim as she was a frequent visitor to the
library, especially as of the past few months. Victoria may have
been concerned for J.B.'s safety, having been the one who
suggested that Georgie escort Drew and her when they leave
campus for the night.
Dr. Conrad was one of her brother's college friends and seems
interested in getting to know her better outside of work, the
feeling isn't mutual.
Big fan of mystery novels and enjoys reading them in her spare
time.
Writes as a hobby, using the journal she carries with her to jot
down ideas and draft out her stories. Isn't very confident in her
writing so she's pretty apprehensive about sharing it with others.
The currently story she's writing is a murder mystery, revolving
around a cold case.
Likes bad puns.
