No one is saying that pre-1960′s culture was perfect — just better, IMHO.

Can’t let that one slide. The culture clearly did have a problem with covering up abuse.

I lived through that era, so I well understand that the 1960s was a violent revolution, but this fact seems to have been dropped down the memory hole with regard to the current generation. Admittedly, the revo wasn’t as violent as it could have been, because the much-vaunted “Establishment” (most of whom were actually moderate liberals) curled up in the fetal position and didn’t actually fight back much. But make no mistake, the violence was there, and it was a revolution, just like the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968 was an invasion, even though there wasn’t much fighting. The true history of those times has yet to be written.

I frequently talk to groups of young people who have no idea that urban riots occurred in the US in the 1960s, so I presume they’re not being taught in schools. Young people have a vague idea of the riots generally understand them as having something to do with the civil rights movement.
