************************************************************** Net Happenings - From Educational CyberPlayGround ************************************************************** Date: Wed, 2 Apr 2003 17:19:19 -0600 (CST) From: Eric Crump <ecrump@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The impending war on Iraq and the complex world political situation that has lead us to this pass are the hottest topics just about everywhere. The subject emerges continually on widely various forums where educators hang out. But the subject isn't welcome on every forum, and reaction often ranges from grudging tolerance to outright censure. Talk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is a place specifically intended to support teachers, students, parents, and others who want to discuss war&peace-related issues that may not be welcome elsewhere. ------------------------------------------------------- To join: Visit http://teachersagainstwar.org/lists/talk/subscribe.html or send email to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and in the message body put: subscribe talk If you have questions or run into problems, write to eric@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------- ************************************************************************** ActiveServers, Inc ServerFarm, Co-Location, Point to Point Wireless, Consulting, and Windows dotnet Servers.

Visit http://activeservers.com ************************************************************************** We invite teachers to discuss the challenges of dealing with the subject of war in their classes, or for sharing ideas for lessons and projects that help students learn about the historical, political, religious, and cultural aspects of the current conflict. The list might also be used to discuss possibilities for useful resistance to the war and to coordinate activities. We expect no adherence to some mythical sort of pure anti-war stance. We hope the conversation on this list will reflect the complexity of the situation and people's reactions to it. It's a place to explore the issues, share information and opinions, ask questions, critique governments and popular movements, and generally engage in the kind of reflection and exploration that helps us better understand difficult situations. ************************************************************** The Net Happenings mailing list is a service of Educational CyberPlayGround - http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/ ************************************************************** If you have any questions, concerns, suggestions, or would like to sponsor the Net Happenings service - <http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Community/Subguidelines.html> Subscribe | Unsubscribe | Change Email Preferences - <http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Community/NetHappenings.html> **************************************************************
