Enough is Enough
(crossposted at Durff's Blog)
This summer the Olympics are taking place in a country that is assisting genocide in another country AND in their own.
I call for a boycott! My small contribution will be to NOT watch the Olympics. I'm not an athlete (good thing or we would surely lose) so I can't refuse to participate that way. I'm not the CEO of a major funding source for the games. What I can and will do is not tune in to any tv coverage, any internet coverage, or any other media coverage of any nation that knowingly kills any group of people with whom that government does not agree. I will tell all my students of my decision and rationale. I will use online tools to tell others of my decision.
When the Nazi regime was toppled, it was widely proclaimed, "Never again." But now it is happening at least twice.
What are you going to do about it?
