NightSide - Brown University Students Exhausted From Protesting
BOSTON (CBS) - Students at Brown University have it tough. At least, they think they do. A recent piece published in the Brown Daily Herald titled "Schoolwork, advocacy place strain on student activists" focused on the challenges that students who feel the need to fight for social justice face. Some were quoted anonymously talking about how they find it extremely difficult to balance academic responsibilities with their social activism and protest schedule. Some are upset that schoolwork deadlines aren't more flexible since protesting puts such a physical and emotional demand on them. If you could put all of the students quoted in the article into one room, what would you tell them?
