Thread Name: Opinions please: Protest Singers
Subject: RE: Opinions please
Universities, which were a center of protest in the 60's, are totally different institutions nowadays. Liberal arts education in which students are encouraged to ask tough questions has largely been pushed aside by business and computer science programs. Most students today are looking for whatever job skills they need to be able to afford a BMW and a wide-screen TV, not answers to perennial moral questions. Why would today's university students want to protest against an Establishment that most of them are only far too eager to go to work for?
