The very reason the struggle sessions were so horrible is that they were led by those in power/authority. It was clear tyranny.

There is no comparison between a struggle session led by the body in power, with the ability to coerce, punish, and even kill, and an attempt by controlled body without power or authority to highlight abuses and produce change. It's laughable to draw a connection to Communist China here.

It's the very difference between a society like Mao's and a society like ours. In Mao's China, those not in power are controlled by those in power. In the US, those not in power are a check on those in power.

You're equating the people of communist China with the University of Missouri president, and Mao with the UM students. Think about that.
