I'm too young to remember Kent State. But I will remember it anyway.
Under no circumstances

I was living in a Cleveland suburb and a graduating high school senior when this happened. My father had just finished paying for my sister's Ivy League college & I had similar ambitions. He really couldn't see what I was going to get out of the expensive school and asked me why I didn't save the money and go to some place like Kent State. After reattaching my jaw I just said, "Dad, they shoot kids at Kent State."
It still gives me chills to remember.
Undertrained, poorly led guardsmen with the wrong equiptment (live fucking bullets) sent into a hostile and ambiguous situation . . . some really bad ideas just keep coming back.
