Youth, Maturity, and Campus Protests

The chapter explores the contrasts between youth and maturity, drawing parallels between historical campus protests and current political engagements among young people. It delves into a post-9/11 case of a man held without conviction, the denial of visits to the wife of a convicted terrorist, and controversial arrests at Columbia University. The conversation critiques the reactions of various political factions to campus protests, discusses restrictions on certain protest topics, and compares historical civil disobedience movements to modern-day demonstrations.
