People's political beliefs are not fully formed until age 25, A good % of teenagers, especially ones as coddled and overprotected as this current bunch, are just brainlessly parroting the beliefs of their Xer parents.
I'll disagree to this extent. Some of the SJW behavior, especially on campus, was almost guaranteed to trigger a backlash. People who arrive at a situation without the social imprinting that made the current model viable will be the first to see all the flaws, and there are certainly flaws. So the entering classes are likely to be put off by stupidity, which is not the same as saying they are diametrically opposed to the underlying views of their elder classmates. On that, the clock is still ticking. I doubt they look at their parents and see a preferable model to adopt either. Perhaps,, they may be the open minded ones the Adaptives are expected to be.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
