By youth I mean college-aged, most of whom are technically adults but still young people (such as the members of SNCC and the voter registration workers who traveled South to get folks to register). Those are actually the people that I mostly saw protesting here as well (I work with college students), and those are the ones who have formed a group to continue the discussions that have begun from this incident.
Sometimes adults can not offer the kind of guidance that will affect future change, because what has worked in the past may not work now. Don't underestimate the ingenuity and the commitment of the youth once motivated (and that motivation could stem from a variety of sources.)
I think that we agree on the key issues.
