Complete story — includes the ending

Kevin and other students on the student council try to organize a peace walkout to protest America's involvement in the Vietnam War with the "blessing" of the "coolest" teacher in the school. However, Mr. Diperna threatens to suspend students if they take part in it and "mark it down on their permanent records". This causes Kevin to debate with himself about his own career future versus the future of the country, which reaches critical mass when their supportive teacher is a no-show the day of the walkout. Kevin, in a trip to the bathroom, unintentionally initiates the walkout, which Kevin later remarks, didn't actually do anything to stop the war, but the memory of everyone singing about peace, and the marks on their permanent records, lived on. Guest-starring: Lindsay Price as Lori. Recurring guest: Raye Birk as Mr. Diperna. Absent: Danica McKellar as Winnie Cooper.
