Better to observe others missteps, forgive their human flaws, and quietly work on our own game methinks.

Maybe she's calling out actual problems (discounting the alcoholic teacher that was lead away in cuffs which was clearly a problem) or maybe she's a real pain in the rear and using modern social tactics to attack other people. There's just not much of a way to know. You'd think that a valedictorian would be more trustworthy and likely to be telling the truth, but that's probably not a good assumption to make, especially these days.

Social media, SJW and social shaming these days is, I think, being used in some valid ways, but it's also, I believe, being abused and is often modern McCarthyism.

I'd like to hope that in this case, considering that this was the valedictorian, that this stuff is valid.

I'd be surprised if any of this came back to bite her, but you never know, these days anything is possible.
