I'm getting awfully tired of the way college students are alternatively treated as children or as adults based on what's rhetorically useful. These are full-grown human beings. They don't need parents to tell them what to do, professors to tell them what to think, or outside agitators to tell them how to protest.

Some students will look at what's happening on these campuses and be disgusted by the protestors. Some of them will be proud of them. Some of them will be frightened of the crackdown from administration. Some of them will take it as a challenge.
