My curiosity led to some research and… I couldn’t find any major student protests in the 1990s. Which I guess is the end goal. I did join protests in 2002, and I remember not having an ounce of fear that there would be pro-war nuts driving through them or that the police would show up with surplus military equipment to wage war on people for shouting things in a place others would prefer they didn’t.
