- doesn't matter who he is - the racism and danger to students is real and he affected change. If Rosa was a 1%er, wouldn't matter - her goal was just.

- young, immature dude who got too excited over rumors and social media.
- of course there are jokers. No movement is perfect. These are the stories that make great news. On the whole, the movement is just and it is succeeding.
Rhetoric won't do it. The media jumped on the UVA rape story only to have it disproved. Nonetheless, the protestors and media insisted that while it didn't happen there, "everyone knows it's happening all over the country."
It looks like the "movement" wants episodes to happen and, when they don't, they make them happen so as to give a pretext for their real intent - radical change, justified or not.
It used to be that kids were vetted before being accepted into an accredited four year college. With the democratization of college, merit flies out the window, both for acceptance and retention. High schools are now better able to maintain order than colleges. And, the colleges have no one to blame but themselves for having put up with phony curricula, phony faculty (like that "courtesy professor" or whatever they call that woman who "called in the muscle" on that student reporter) and cowardly and overpaid admins.
Let's let the law and judicial system decide these cases and confine free speech to speech.
