The short answer is no, but the longer answer is that such protests are actually rare. Historically, students before the 1960s were likely to be pro-war (because mostly upper class), & since then protests have been very selective. It is their existence today that is significant.

The liberal chuntering about what such protests can achieve misses that the act itself is an indication that the subject of the protest has gone too far: the warmongers have lost the argument. The violence of the state's response reflects that rather than any potential threat.
@fromarsetoelbow The backbone of strike breakers during the General Strike in Britain were students and a larger proportion of German students tended towards the Nazis rather than the left in Weimar Germany
