Adopting a 1960s flavor, UW-Madison plans a ‘teach-in’ on the war in Afghanistan

On Friday night some UW-Madison students will gather in a classroom, choosing to attend a war policy debate instead of â?? or at least before â?? a keg party. It may sound more befitting the UW campus of the 1960s, but thatâ??s kind of the point.UW-Madison is hosting a “teach-in” on the war in Afghanistan this weekend, reviving a practice common during the campusâ?? turbulent Vietnam War years.Some of the faculty members giving lectures at the event say there are many parallels between that war and the nine-year conflict in Afghanistan.
