Subject: BS: Parental reaction to Viet Nam protests
Another thread got me thinking...

During the time I was marching for civil rights and to end the war in Viet Nam, I was definitely on the 'outs' with my parents. My mom believed the government always did what was best for us and my dad was a loyal vet of World War II. They were all-American and I was considered to be some kind of traitor to my country. I was definitely rocking the boat and had to go. I found refuge in Canada.

What were your parents reaction to your involvement in Peace marches and civil protests?
