AZ Gov. Trys to Try to Prohibit Ethnic Studies in Public Schools

Dear AZ Gov. Brewer,

We cannot ignore the past. A true unity of different ethic groups will be created after leaning about facts in our history. Without that, it is a superficial unity. Ethnic studies are not only for certain ethnic groups. It is the good way to learn about other ethic group's cultures and histories.

Please reconsider the benefits of ethic studies.

"Finding Compassion" on Kyoto Journal

My interview with David Shever, a photographer and Tibetan human rights activist, was on Kyoto Journal. We talked about our relationship to Tibet.

"Compassion, communication, and education are the key to solve this half-century-old conflict. First, I suggest convening talks between the Beijing and Tibetans with mediators, possiblyy the U.S., India, and Japan....It is very difficult to change the "adult" mind, so next we need to support large exchange programs for young people in these culture, hosting in one of those mediator nations."
