[JEWS ARE BEYOND CRITICISM--why not chisel it in stone]

CU announces action plan against bigotry,
9 News (Denver), January 18, 2003
"The University of Colorado's president says bigotry is a troubling issue facing college campuses. President Elizabeth Hoffman released a statement and an action plan against bigotry Friday. Her actions come after recent acts of anti- Semitism on the CU Boulder campus. 'The University of Colorado stands firm on the fundamental importance of human dignity and denounces those engaging in acts of racism, sexism, homophobia, bigotry, anti-Semitism or culturally intolerant behavior,' Hoffman’s statement reads. She also released an action plan including adding 'ethnic intimidation' to the student code of conduct. The Anti Defamation League and Hillel Council of Colorado call her actions an 'important first step.'"

<< If children start leaving the good suburban public schools for private religious schools, it will be a tragedy for any dream we may have had of non-separatist communities. As we can see on SI, when some people can fit themselves into little niches with like minded individuals, they will do that, no matter how narrow the niche may make them.>> If children start leaving the good suburban public schools for private religious schools, it will be a tragedy for any dream we may have had of non-separatist communities.

But if a religious school can do a 1-7 at $2,700 per student and the public schools spend $7,500 per student and not teach them how to make change...

I agree that suburban schools could be at risk also. But I feel that inner city schools are the most at risk. There are much larger challenges in inner city schools.
