I will say it again, Where in the hell are the college students?

[shockey80]

Are college students protesting today?

[raccoon]

1. Maybe it would take a draft to get them out. NT

[obnoxiousdrunk]

2. They are on

Spring break.

[Wwcd]

3. Hopefully in the crowd.. we can't identify everyone, so..

Kudos to those who are taking part anyway. They will direct the future of this country

[AnnieBW]

4. Partying on Spring Break

Or watching the NCAA playoffs.

5. I see many in the audience at the D.C. March that appear to be college age.

Here we go again.

[MineralMan]

6. Many of them are out on the march, too.

What makes you think they aren't? Look at the faces in the crowds. Those are not all high school kids.

7. What makes you think there aren't any college students protesting?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. Why do you assume they aren't there?

The march was organized by high school students and they are the speakers, so it's mainly their thing. But it looks to me like there are people of all ages in the crowd.

[uppityperson]

9. Yes, many are. However, this was organized and run by high school students

Let them have the credit. There are many college students joining in.

10. Activism seems to have skipped a couple of generations since the Boomers.

Are high school-aged considered millennials? If so at least the tail end of that generation is becoming "woke".

[shockey80]

11. Sorry, I don't see it.

Show me where they are. Show me a college protest.

[bearsfootball516]

13. The protests are occuring in cities, not high school or college campuses.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. People aren't protesting separately. They are all *together* at this march

and the other marches around the country. That's the whole point! This isn't like the '60s where the protests occurred mostly on college campuses and consisted almost entirely of students at those colleges. It's intended to include everyone, although organized and focused on high school students. I have no doubt that there are many college students at these marches, just like there are older people. I'd be at one myself if I could.

[rurallib]

12. Maybe in their college towns marching?

[Kirk Lover]

14. Yes I am going to SUNY at Old Westbury in Nassau Cty NY it's run by the students.

I'm sure there are many many more.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

16. They announced there would be no speakers over 17...

I'm sure there are many in the crowd.

[jpak]

17. University of Maine has a march today.

[shockey80]

18. Couldn't college students start their own separate protest?

I guess they are to busy trying to figure out how they are going to pay off their life long debt.

[Voltaire2]

19. They are all wearing the badges that say

I R COllEGE STUDENT.

20. Good observation

There were 500+ in Keene NH. The largest contingent were 55+. Home to Keene state college, though I saw no obvious college age presence. Not even a large number of high school kids, and they organized it. Not a criticism, just an observation.

For those on the right who condemn and criticize “the kids,” I call BS. I’m impressed by their passion. Can’t wait for all of them to turn 18 and vote. good observation
