As long as they do not cause damage or engage in violence I do not see anything inherently wrong in students engaging in protests and sometimes-as in the case in America over Civil Rights or the Vietnam War for example or the anti-racism movement here in the 80s- the publicity garnered arguably helped further their causes.

It's normally the case that people are far more idealistic when they are younger and become more conservative as they grow older (and possibly a bit more worldly if not wiser?) but wouldn't want to stop anyone protesting peacefully for what they see as just causes.

Just annoys me that so many -as Calgary's post points out-don't bother to do the research to find out a bit more detail/context first rather than simply latch onto click bait slogans before opening their mouths.

Navigating "false" news and conspiracy theories may be far more of an issue these days but there still remains a wealth of information on the internet to be found without too much effort if you look.

It's the ignorance of too many I lament rather than the act of students protesting.
