    Per my favorite radio guy, Andrew Wilkow; I'm slightly paraphrasing:

    These protests are an indication that Civics students are no longer learning how our government works. They are instead learning politics.

    That was what I said!

    They aren't even learning politics, they are learning social justice.

    All 3 of the above posters are correct to varying degrees.

    Not taught how the government is supposed to work; being taught politics;
    learning anarchy; and being conditioned to be led around by the nose by
    some political ideology.
    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    They are the weapon. And primitive weapon is always blind, but may be effective and destructive, to the others regret.

    Could be, but I see them as more of a shield for those using them. The SJW are the numbers, while the professionals pursue their agendas.

    To some extent you are right.
    But you must have known that assault is the best way to defend.
