Today's college freshmen are more eager to protest than any in nearly 50 years

A survey of 141,189 incoming college freshmen found that the class of 2019 is politically engaged, committed to volunteering, and historically ready to protest.

The 2015 poll participants reported "substantially greater likelihoods of participating in student protests and demonstrations while in college" compared to previous years, clocking the highest level of protest plans since the first such survey in 1967.
