Seems to imply that students of color will have options not available to white students.

Yes.

I don't know that I would say infowars misrepresented, as this link reaffirms its claim; but your link is much more informative.

The students had 18 demands, and infowars inexplicably focused on one aspect of one demand - they could have discussed all, and objected to several of the 18 demands, and still kept their readership happy regarding ideology.

I have no idea why they would write such a sloppy article. Perhaps it's just the behavior of a compulsive liar or liars? Maybe they wish to clearly highlight that they're a joke of a news source for those capable of identifying journalistic standards? ...

The demand is inflammatory enough to warrant its own article.

Many might think so, but an actual news site that isn't just performance art can't discuss that one implication of one of those 18 demands in isolation - because it blatantly obscures basic background information about that implication.

Seriously, if you were personally writing that as a news article, could you have done such an incompetent job? Of course writing an article to entertain and mislead people who swallow Jones's bullshit is a different task.
