US cities, especially the larger ones have two huge problems to solve. One is to improve their educational systems. Far too many students are drop outs or fail to pass tests. The other major problem is crime, especially drug related crime.
WW 2 effected American high school students in many ways. Perhaps the three most evident ways were the following:1. At age 18, students became aware that they might be drafted in the US Armed Forces;2. They became aware that the US government had to set quotas on the availability of certain war supply items such as rubber and gasoline; and3. They now had a larger and more accurate world view. They saw that Germany and Japan, for example, were totalitarian nations, and their populations had no way to effect the war efforts of their governments.
By 1967, most American students did not favor U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. There were many demonstrations taking place against the war. Soldiers coming home from the war were not greeted warmly.
