|Although traditional family values churn at the core, ''The Wonder Years'' has a politically liberal, specifically antiwar undertone. Arnold family patriarch Jack Arnold, is a veteran of the [[Korean War]], but the second season episode "Walkout" has Jack's son Kevin Arnold and other students walk out of school to protest the ongoing [[Vietnam War]]. The only person who tries to stop it is the school's vice-principal, who is depicted as the episode's "villain" as he threatens to suspend any participants in the walkout and put those suspensions on their permanent records. The series makes other jabs at the war, such as characters (like Kevin's rebellious teenage hippie sister Karen) going to vigils and displaying the peace sign.
