I wish the media in the US would stop calling this a student protest, it seems to be much, much broader than that. Whole families in the streets protesting. We must be watchful. It seems like this can truly gain momentum.

I agree. When students make up only 10% of the demonstrators, you might think the media would want to mention that. There is an upside of them calling this a student protest movement. Their Islamic revolution was very intitated by the students and the regime has been very proud of this fact. It gave them a kind of legitimacy. Students protesting today is very embarassing to them.
