"Hours after she learned that Csar Chavez, the iconic Latino farm labor activist, had been accused of sexually assaulting girls in the movement he led, Austin city council member Vanessa Fuentes began hearing from constituents demanding the city rename Csar Chavez Street."

Perhaps rename after Mahatma Gandhi instead?

"Forced Young Girls to Sleep in Bed with Him"

Literally sleep, is my understanding.

He didn't rape them like Trump or Chavez.

It's like the Mormons who can't look at porn, but they want to look at porn, so they photoshop in bananas where the good stuff is.

Is political activism is a really fertile ground for predators?

Because you can see what happened to Huerta, a living legend, and SHE was afraid to say anything. Didn't want to hurt the movement.
For instance MLK?

On the one hand Democrat lawmakers have introduce bills that allow convicted sex offenders to live closer to schools, playgrounds, and childcare facilities, and get out of jail early.
On the other hand they act all outraged by it.

Literally sleep, is my understanding.

So like Biden? I mean he only literally showered with his daughter.

Gandhi Used His Position To Sexually Exploit Young Women. The Way WE React To This Matters Even Today
Gandhi had young women in his ashram, some of them still teenagers, one of them his own grand-niece, sleep naked with him in his bed at night.
The women, most of whom were in their late teens or early twenties (not surprisingly, given he could have experimented' with the older women or even his own wife!) were repeatedly described as depressed and weeping, and seemed to be completely in his control. Besides this, some of the archival references lead me to believe that Gandhi may well have been practicing the traditional, historic form of Indian celibacy which hinges on one thing only - and that is control of ejac[k]ula[shun]. Everything else is permitted.

- you can't understand

ONLY the Chinese Shadow Knows!

Self-esteem is a fine thing... a bloated view of one's own intellectual abilities, however, is called, illusory superiority, often tied to the Dunning-Kruger effect.

And since you don't know what either of those things means, you might want to tone down your smarter than everyone else act, because it's laughable.
