Amanda Marcotte: College Kids Are ‘Under Assault From Reactionary Forces’

The notorious madcap feminist offers an interesting — and by “interesting,” of course, I mean deranged — defense of the protesting student mob at the University of Missouri: Young people are under assault from reactionary forces and most of their grievances are not about imagined slights, but about very serious problems they are facing, on […]
