Begging the question.

Is there not a chance one of the young men offering open labs or tutoring might, in fact, be intelligent, enthusiastic about the sciences and decent?

Agreed about the strawmanning. (Ahem, “strawpersoning”?)

Seems to be a common rhetorical tactic to substitute untoward “downstream” effect with a system itself.

(“Because System X can be exploited for unwanted behavior Y, we need to condemn System X as much as we do behavior Y.”)

“Disgusted and uncomfortable” with a specific person's behavior or by the idea itself?

Anything not “equally accessible to all” is antithetic evil.

It is more just for everyone to be worse off than advantage to accrue to the already advantaged.
