Upcoming Visit of Dalai Lama

["Craven, Jim" <jcraven@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

TO THE CLARK CAMPUS:

On the pending visit to Portland of the so-called Dalai Lama, perhaps some
different and contending views ought to be heard. I was surprised to learn
that elements of the "Christian" Right-wing are opposing the busing of
students to his talk on the grounds of "Separation of Church and State";
actually, I love it as these are the same elements trying to push "Prayer in
Schools" and "Ten Commandments in Schools and Public Buildings" and
apparently they mean "Separation of [non-Christian or non-their-kind-of
Christian] Church and State".

But there are some other views on the Dalai Lama that ought to be heard. For
example, what kind of "non-violent" and "holy" person works for the CIA--a
distinctly and very violent and non-holy organization?
So for the edification of those who are truth seekers--and with
disgust/contempt for those pseudo/anti-intellectuals who filter-out the
uncomfortable ideas and/or sources--well checkout the following:

Let all ideas and sources contend. This is supposed to be an educational
institution--albeit staffed, in some cases, with some pathetic excuses for
educators IMHO.
