University of Missouri System president Tim Wolfe was run out of office this week by a group of upset students, activists and members of the college’s football team. The campus has been plagued with protests for weeks, sparked by what some viewed as racial insensitivity on the part of Wolfe. Activists used intimidation tactics, wrote a list of demands, and trumped up non-issues to motivate people to join their demonstration. The movement has been viewed by many as a showcase of what colleges should be like across the United States. One activist told the Associated Press that the uprising “planted the seeds that students can challenge things.” How dangerous are these sorts of movements to the stability of America? And why are young people today acting with such resentment toward authority? Find out on today’s episode of the Trumpet Daily Radio Show.
