Ideas have a way of spreading rather rapidly in a campus environment. I take this from the perspective of someone who attend college over multiple decades. The older students, single parents, and vets bring a much different perspective. Many academics are not familiar with those experiences either. So even if 1% of the students attend an event, it makes a difference.
@intparent , every functional family is ‘socialist’ within the family group. The parents have abilities, the children have needs. It’s during the transition from childhood to adulthood that they develop abilities and understand the limitations, incentives, and framework of society. Our society just delays the transition longer than in previous generations. Some, like the SJW, never grow up.
