actually i think we have gone full circle about young people having their own views on subjects. think modern day thinking is closer than the post war era but on different subjects. the only big problem that i got into at school was my views on religeon and the monarchy. we were still thought of as a country of church going god fearing masses who loved the queen and her family. people like me were thought of as some form of anarchists who did not deserve a point of view. it got so bad my father had to meet the headmaster of my local grammar school to save me from expulsion, something only reserved for the worst of physical bullies of the time.
