They come into the academies thinking they'll become awesome heroes of legend, but in reality they are just pawns, weapons for Ozpin and co. in their war against Salem, a war they don't even know exists.

Nothing that says "is humanity worth saving?". Only "am I really a hero? Or just a tool?"

2-1 thing: WHY would they face persecution just for being from Beacon? Or for being even remotely associated with Ozpin in some way? W.H.Y?

If anyone suffers any sort of persecution, it's Yang, cause she "broke Merc's leg" on international TV for no reason. Thus, there's an actual reason for people to look at her bad and treat her somewhat like shit.

3-No they wouldn't. Unless those people are called "White Fang". 1. That's the point, if they're more useful dead than alive, and if nothing changes as a result of their actions, then what have they achieved? Especially with humanity turning against them.

2. Why, you ask? Where did Yang and Pyrrha attend? Beacon. Who runs Beacon? Ozpin. Therefore, Ozpin taught them to mutilate innocent students for no reason. "Well if a couple of them do it then they all do." THAT is what many people will think. THAT is why anyone from Beacon may be in danger, need I say more?

3. I think you're underestimating how close-minded people can be, especially with what they saw at the tournmanet, some are so vexed they won't care if it's all a lie, they're gonna believe what they want and Hell to those who say otherwise. Doesn't need to be a genocidal extremist, a closed mind can be just as dangerous, especially in large numbers.
