I suppose this requires a reply. I was commenting on your notion that students were part of the working class, rather than allied to it, as in the case of the civil rights movement. If everyone who marched, from the Rev. King to Carrol Cox, belonged to the working class, the term loses all meaning, particularly that ascribed to it by Marx, Engels, and their followers.
