Just to chime in--in late 1960's, Vietnam was being discussed everywhere! I was in high school (a public high school in a rather conservative suburb of Chicago). My history teacher invited a friend to sing Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant and discuss the war and the draft. My music teacher had a whole unit on Bob Dylan's Masters of War. There were very strong feelings on both sides, but a USA with no discussion of the Vietnam war just seems to be a different USA than the one that I grew up in.

p.s. What does this have to do with Shakespeare?
