It’s complete BS demonizing “Baby Boomers”. I’m on the tail end of the Baby Boom and I was 7 years old in 1968.
Sure, there were lots of older BBers protesting especially against the draft in that timeframe, but they weren’t nearly running the world.
And BBers don’t have any special animus toward each other. Arguably they were more tolerant of other races and ethnicities, on average, than any previous American generations.

In '68 I was 14 going on 15, and not in control of much at all other than my homework.
Bill Ayres and his friends were not Boomers, they are all in their mid to late seventies. The oldest Boomers are probably 71 at best.
“I’m on the tail end of the Baby Boom and I was 7 years old in 1968.”
And I was at the head end, turning 22 a week after returning from RVN. I will tell you, some of the best men (and boys) I have ever known were my fellow soldiers I knew in country. I turn 70 this week and I still wear a Vietnam Veteran hat proudly most everywhere I go. The recognition I get from young people is very gratifying and I often find myself BS-ing with “friends” I never knew from back in that time. It’s a bond of comradeship that will never die until the last of us is gone.
