Maybe American history should be one of your first classes.

College campuses have been literal battlegrounds in the US for ages.

1970 Kent state 4 students killed by the ohio national guard during anti-Vietnam war protests began a tide of student protests and which basically turned the entire nation against the war.

1968 Howard university student protests were part of the broader civil rights movement.

But, who cares. They're just kids.

Ps. Oh, and if you think that colleges are devoid of politics and political rhetoric...I just don't know how you could be so wrong.
