in my school building we have a peace and justice club

[greenbriar]

they put up a HUGE bulletin board with a total daily count of the number of dead in Iraq

1. Did they show the number of casualties for Iraqi civilians as

well as casualties of American soldiers?

[greenbriar]

2. just the soldiers at this point

I am just impressed that it is allowed to stay up.

we have to be really careful to not show bias.

3. they can't, those numbers are not reported

[checks-n-balances]

4. How did I figure out that your school is not in the Bible Belt?

I hate that there are so many (or any) who have died in Iraq and that they are even posted anywhere, but your school sounds like an exceptional place to even allow a peace and justice club. What state are you in? Is this a high school, and has there been a lot of reaction to this kind of openness there? Just curious.

5. um...we are in Kansas

the sponsor of the club is a very respected science teacher. Very quiet and "peaceful"


by the way...he was a CO during Vietnam

This is a High school with multiple fractions of gangs, hell we could put our own countdown of gang deaths and it would be almost as bad.

I haven't seen any reaction yet. There was NO school today, but the club came in to put up the bulletin board
