From my experience of college in the late 60s/early 70s, I'd say most student protest was facile, shallow and hypocritical - most participated in it because it was the fashionable thing to do at the time. It always made me laugh (in a cynical sort of way) to see students protesting against the South African apartheid regime, whilst carrying their "Thoughts of Chairman Mao" book - a man who instigated a regime just as brutal and repressive as the South African one.

OK, there were a few genuine idealists but most just paraded their political views in the same way as their clothing styles and musical tastes - and discarded them just as quickly when they got out into the big wide world!
