Why? What does one thing have to do with the other? If I'm living in a dorm named after someone who wronged my family, regardless of what you might think of them from afar, how does my issue with living in a place named for them relate to single mothers?

Because the effort and energy of certain groups are directed at the dorm, not the real issue hurting people.

How does a random single mother enter into the equation if I'm a student in a dorm named after someone who affected my life negatively, in addition to the lives of others, who may similarly be involved in the effort to change the name of the building? You're deflecting now because you don't think things are as important as others. But that is what I've been saying. Maybe you could consider the lived lives of other people and what's important to them.

You know as well as I do that this is not just done at the local/micro level and that there are national groups articulating their priorities.

I would ask how you know that if you're not involved in any one cause.
