I'm not sure you're 100% correct on the one about children of leftist parents. I think during the 1960's a lot of good kids from wealthy parents and even pubbies got caught up in the "moment." I remember that time pretty well, bringing up my kids then. It wasn't a great time in our history! And it's gotten worse now that these peaceniks are in high office.

You are probably right, I should have said that a lot of the main agitators were the kids of leftist parents, which I believe is fairly well documented. The fact that leftist dogma is so mainstream these days kind of supports your point that others have been taken in, I guess.

I was in college in those days, considered myself to be a liberal. I knew that leftist doctrine was wrong, just hadn't thought everything through. The Clintons were the wake up call that finally got my brain working.

It would be interesting to know whether (bishop) Griswold, and also Eric Yoffie, the very leftist chief rabbi of Reform Judaism, were the children of leftists, or were "caught up in the moment" and stayed caught. I tried to research this for Eric Yoffie, but found little info on his personal history.

Yoffie has mentioned having been a "rebellious," or something like that, college student.
