Lots of conservative and authoritarian liberal think-tanks have long noted that campus activism has made it difficult to direct elite opinion and depletes the corporate/state pool from which to draw recruits. So, if student bodies seem apathetic, perhaps that's why.

Anger isn't even the word. Our America is hurting on college campuses and elsewhere. We need a miracle. Stop the police state! Sick. Anger isn’t even the word.
