I read in the news, local news: More than 100 University of Oregon students pushed administrators and the Board of Trustees toward radical climate action and divestment in companies that support Israel during a rally Tuesday and public comments. Who led the effort?
I share your frustration on this subject. I was part of the 1960 student revolts! We believed that we could change the world--and we did for a short time--until the pendulum swung back. I started seeing student apathy in the early nineties during the Gulf War. I was teaching at a local community college in PA and was shocked that my students wore the yellow ribbons pushed by Bush Sr in support of war. I assigned them essays on Anti War demonstrations, forcing them to listen, maybe, flipping maybe two students out of sixty or so. And so it goes..... Scary!
