Students and parents holds up a sign during protest outside Norman High School, Monday, Nov. 24, 2014, in Norman, Okla.Jay Chilton—AP by [TIME Staff](/author/time-staff/) ## TIME Staff Update your preferences in [Account Settings](/account/preferences/) Close Nov 25, 2014 2:40 PM CUT Hundreds of students at an Oklahoma high school walked out of their classes Monday to [protest the school’s alleged mishandling](http://newsok.com/up-to-1000-norman-students-rally-outside-school/article/5369811 "undefined") of bullying directed toward three teenage rape victims, and the Twitter hashtag is bringing national attention to their efforts. [The #YesAllDaughters campaign](https://www.facebook.com/yesalldaughters/timeline "undefined")—inspired by this spring’s viral [#YesAllWomen](http://time.com/114043/yesallwomen-hashtag-santa-barbara-shooting/ "undefined") movement—took flight after three teenage girls told administrators that they were all raped by the same classmate at Norman High School. ([_Jezebel_ published audio](http://jezebel.com/why-were-three-teenage-rape-victims-bullied-out-of-scho-1659721302 "undefined") of the alleged perpetrator describing one of the assaults.) > [](https://twitter.com/RachIrick/status/536941403407130624) Although the alleged assailant was quickly suspended for the school year and is under police investigation, the three victims say the school did not take proper action to stop bullying that followed. One victim was suspended after hitting a boy with her bag after he told her “I hear you love being raped,” _Jezebel_ reports. The school said in a letter last week that it “advocates for the safety” of its students and hasn’t “and would never discipline a victim for being a victim.” All three victims have reportedly left the school by choice due to bullying. > [](https://twitter.com/DanielleDunnOKC/status/536899439747948544) Student activists created the #YesAllDaughters Facebook page to list [demands](http://www.okcfox.com/story/27463326/norman-hs-students-set-for-walkout-release-demands "undefined") and organize the walkout. “The idea is that it could be anyone’s daughter, that these girls are all our daughters,” student organizer Danielle Brown’s aunt, Stacey Wright, [said at a news conference.](http://www.okcfox.com/story/27445091/students-speak-out-for-three-alleged-norman-high-rape-victims "undefined") The hashtag has resonated with a national audience. > [](https://twitter.com/TwistedFelicity/status/536964252515323904) Although schools [superintendent Joe Siano sent a letter home](http://www.norman.k12.ok.us/assets/files/SianoNormanHighLetter.pdf "undefined") urging parents to encourage their children not to walk out of class but rather “wear stickers and ribbons in support of victims of sexual assault and bullying” during class, the school [reports](http://www.norman.k12.ok.us/index.php?news-press-releases&action=view&post%5Fid=158 "undefined") that 639 out of 1,992 students were absent from their first period class. > [](https://twitter.com/bustle/status/536988358875308032) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3604666/yesalldaughters-normal-high-school/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3604666/yesalldaughters-normal-high-school/"},"headline":"Anti-Bullying Campaign for High School Rape Victims Goes Viral With #YesAllDaughters","datePublished":"2014-11-25T14:40:30.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:56:22.037Z","description":"Students leave class to protest handling of alleged rape cases","url":"https://time.com/3604666/yesalldaughters-normal-high-school/","keywords":["Living","Rape","Sexual Assault","Crime","Oklahoma"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd29c862d051629a6/69876acba988ca2a6c6aaf6a/yes-all-daughters1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd29c862d051629a6/69876acba988ca2a6c6aaf6a/yes-all-daughters1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Oklahoma School-Rape Allegations","caption":"Oklahoma School-Rape Allegations","creditText":"Jay Chilton—AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-living/","name":"Living"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3604666/yesalldaughters-normal-high-school/","name":"Anti-Bullying Campaign for High School Rape Victims Goes Viral With #YesAllDaughters"}}]}] ```
