A University of Virginia student accused of a cruel remark by one person and a blog post with no corroborating witnesses endured online attacks and official sanctions enforced by her school.
Now she may be preparing to sue.
According to the allegations, a white woman drove up to a Black Women Matter protest in Charlottesville during the summer of 2020 and told the group they would make “good f*cking speed bumps,” Reason Assistant Editor Emma Camp reported in an investigation for the June 2023 issue of the magazine.
That woman was later identified as UVA student Morgan Bettinger.
