This student is remarkable - the courage in the face of what remains one of the biggest problems of our time: people who, due to their behavior, deserve no respect whatsoever, build up an institutional aura of intimidation in which they can wield their authority based on nothing more than their official positions.
If most people were like this, we would live in a much better world, because then people would judge authorities based on their behavior rather than bowing to their institutional power. That deserves respect, not these undeserving “dignitaries.”
