My 20th reunion is probably looming sooner than I'd like. I attended a community college. There were plenty of leftist groups and occasional loudmouths, but nothing got to the point of property damage or violence to my recollection. And that was at peak "W is evil." But I was busy being a student and didn't have time for activism or participation in anything on top of my credit load and commute.

maybe students should take harder classes so that they don't have enough free time to break stuff and inconvenience the lives of others. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to actually educate some of the extreme people in this demographic.
When I was a student, I was paying my own way to pursue a specific degree (drafting and design) instead of getting a free ride for post high school party time. Mindset matters. Colleges have been centers for protest and activism for a long time, but the current trend of mindless rage does seem to coincide with the era of degree inflation and federal subsidies for tuition.
