  Thank you for bringing those up. However, unless I’m misunderstanding them, the only one of those where the protesters were in the wrong were the pro-segregation protests, correct? But weren’t those protests by-and-large made up of parents? (Perhaps along with some of their children doing what they were told?) Not exactly the “rebellious youth sticking it to the man” we generally mean by the words student protest.

    Yes and no, a number of universities had pro-segregation actions by students including protests

    History is always more complicated and nuanced than any narrative would lead you to believe.
