Yet' our government does rrot seem to care. <br />Finally, peapJe in the United 5ta�es are protesting ihis fooiish war. In faci, raght <br />here in the Twr`n Ci�ies c�ver 7500 hrgh school and callege studer�ts �valked out of classes <br />last week fo exclaim io the vvorld that they kno�a* that this vsrcar is wrong. This ta►k of <br />protests brings us to France, whe�e ihis vveek peopfe are violer�tly protesting tf�e Frer�ch <br />racism agairrst im►nigrant Muslim� and Africans. �ar year,s �he �rench dr'scrirrrinated <br />against foreign immigran�s and jev►rs, but n�wr th�ir government is being s�oad up to. <br />Through the ages stereotypir�g, prejudice, and discrim�nation have nev�r seemed <br />ta end, but life goes c�n and hope is on the harirorr. Wh�rt cen �ve do as individuals to <br />make a brighter fu�ure for a11 peopie? We can be volunteers in vur owrr commur�ri�ies to <br />imprave human rights condr'tions. We cctn identify our own stereotyping ar�d pre�ur�ices <br />and try t� change. We can vote for feaders who support human rights issues. We can <br />cant'a�t' out congressional representatives pnd express our views. We can join with <br />others to peacefully prvtest un just actrons vr policies. Let us hope at�d pray for <br />inspiratiorr ta end humat� rights violatians forever. <br />Salam Alaikum. <br />(Peace be with you) <br />
