I am curious. Has there ever been a wide-scale student protest movement that WASN’T unequivocally vindicated by history?
The Young Turk movement started with medical students.
There were quite a few pro-segregation protests when schools were desegregated.
There’s also a lot of cases where students with real grievances and positive intentions are coopted; most of the students protesting in the early 90s in eastern europe didn’t intend to do a color revolution and have their countries stripped for parts.
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.
Is this a science meme? Am I on Reddit?
You are on sciencememes, and this is a meme about academia?
Academia = Science ?
My dude, it’s right there in the description
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Honestly, I have no idea what you are trying to argue
How does the post have anything to do with what you just quoted from the community rules?
I am trying to say the post has nothing to do with science.
And? Seems like your definition and this community’s definition of “science memes” differ. Who cares. What are we even arguing about?
