CM. I graduated in '74 and frankly is WAS a glorious time in my life. Of course, I don't know what it would have been like to be a student in a private school, but in that day, I do remember some of my teachers really challenging us to QUESTION AUTHORITY. Speak up. Hold firm. I know it seems ironic, and perhaps it was a sign of those times, in general. I mean, my American Lit teacher had us read Ayn Rand's "Anthem"!!! So it wasn't even like we were stuck in the "left/right" paradigm, either. But you know what? I see it the same way as you do in a sense: "They still don't get it, however". Not one individual from my class followed suit. I do believe if the opposite was the case, I would have known.....
