The student journalist who spurred a free speech debate at Mizzou thinks the outrage is misplaced
"Who wants to help me get this reporter out of here?" Melissa Click, the professor, asks on the video. "I need some muscle over here."
Those remarks went viral and drew fury from some, who noted that as a media professor, Click should understand that the First Amendment protects her right to protest as well as reporters' rights to film on public property.
She has since issued an apology and resigned from a courtesy appointment.
But among all of the angry voices calling for Click's head, one of the journalists who had his access restricted by protesters has called the anger misplaced.
Tim Tai, a student photographer who was on a freelance assignment for ESPN, took to Twitter to direct the conversation back to what he thinks should be the focus of discussions: racism at Mizzou.
