The community college adviser who now faces charges for trying to disrupt the controversial "It's O.K. To Be White" talk at the University of Connecticut saw her case pushed back to next month on Wednesday, but claimed outside the courthouse she acted to fight fascism.
The Hartford Courant's David Owens reported that 33-year-old Catherine Gregory of Willimantic, currently on leave from her job at Quinebaug Valley Community College, said she is receiving "support from people around the world."
Catherine Gregory, 33, an administrator at Quineyaug Community College, took the lecture notes of Lucian Wintrich off the lectern and tried to leave with them. She has been charged with sixth degree larceny and disturbing the peace, but says she has gotten support from all over the world; her lawyer calls Wintrich's speech "fighting words."
