Perfect example. Milo Yiannopoulos, the guy is gay and married to a black man. Yet the children had a temper tantrum at UC Berkeley , when he was supposed to speak there. https://youtu.be/vS_RKwCYcl8
I don't agree with "temper tantrums," but maybe they objected to the British opportunist Yiannopoulos, who enjoys universal healthcare and other British social programs, presenting himself as an ally of the American right? Maybe because they see him for the total fake and media whor* he is?
I don’t really find generation talk to be that useful.
Also, I didn’t know I was even a millennial until a couple of years ago. It’s weird being lumped into a group of people with whom I share nothing other than a fairly wide range of birth dates. I can understand why people get annoyed or even offended at being cut up into big groups like that.
Lastly, there may end up being some good which rises out of this mess, provided the worst elements of said mess even subside. At their core, I think a lot of the “millennial” activism has more than a few lessons to learn about inclusivity and seeing humans as humans, rather than as some political group or racial group.
That obviously got severely perverted somewhere along the way, and these days I think most of the elements which worked towards these goals now cut against them.
Doesn't matter. Millennials are still the least capable generation on record. Due to the left-wing Ed School kooks in the 1960s? Sure. But no one subsequently stopped the same exact left-wing Ed School idiocy, since.
Boomers still control the education industry. Millennials have not yet come into the position to make those changes.

Thanks for your opinion, others differ. Either way, it doesn't make it acceptable to have a temper tantrum, sorry, i mean riot.
Thanks for bringing to light another thing about the younger generations. Temper tantrums, when they don't get their way, or like something.
There are many good people among millennials; the problem is social media that gave the most obnoxious a wide forum.

Exactly. Facebook, that cesspool, is mostly used by Boomers and my fellow GenXers, not Millennials and certainly not GenZ, my kids' generation. I think Boomers are just as likely to abuse social media.
Same with cell phones. Boomers are, by a wide margin, worse than Millennials (or anyone else) for loud, intrusive cell phone use. Talk about obnoxious.
GenXers -- remember them? -- began taking over education years ago.
At this point, X-genners are still mostly the lower managers, not the executives and policy-makers. And even when they reach those roles, it will take time for them to actually change the policies and get those policies pushed down the system. Who are the deans, chairs of departments, Secretaries of Education?
