highconcept,

  That's right.
  The young are always idealistic, always want change, always want to express themselves freely even if they're just making drunken fools of themselves. 
  That's what university is for.
   In the Reagan-Mulroney era, when universities became like MBA mills grinding out corporate drones - that was the time to worry  the young had stopped being young. It was the saddest of times, a time of vitriolic anti-liberalism,  fueled by Christian evangelism, that almost destroyed university controversy and a pivotal time when the concept of "liberal democracy" took a severe hit.
  Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, North America has been pushed ruthlessly to the far right by complete corporate takeover of government. The inevitable consequence is the corporate establishment extremism of Donald Trump posing as the fake savior of the oppressed and dispossessed.
