| Abstract | "Student protests have a long history in the United States. Over the years, many students have protested in support of various causes, often reflecting the time's social, political, and economic concerns. Protests can be a powerful tool that students can use to voice dissent. Protests can spotlight issues, get the mainstream public's attention, and provide a platform for marginalized communities to get the attention necessary to bring about meaningful change. However, students must balance the power of protests with potential drawbacks. Sometimes, protest activities can infringe on the rights of others or lead to students facing disciplinary action from schools or even arrest"-- Provided by publisher. |
