Yet Principal Gary expressed total ignorance of the groups sponsoring the tour.
Right. Not particularly hard to find, look at their website. Michael Jackson on child rearing next. If we take him at his word, he’s incompetent, and should be looking for another job.
Nonviolent education and action against war and occupation in Iraq and Palestine for justice and universal human rights
Members of Voices in the Wilderness, the Palestine Right to Return Coalition, the Middle East Children's Alliance, and affiliates of the International Solidarity Movement take to the road in a colorfully decorated full-size school bus for the Wheels of Justice Tour. Starting in mid-August 2003, this tour will canvass the western United Sates to challenge and educate North Americans on the occupation of Palestine and Iraq.
Having seen and lived with war, terror and occupation in Iraq and Palestine, participants in the Wheels of Justice offer first-hand experience irrespective of partisan politics and sound bite sloganeering. To build upon the growing domestic opposition to war against Iraq and occupation of Palestine, the Wheels of Justice Tour will cover the United States with education, outreach, training, active non-violent resistance, and community-building. The first leg, which covers the western United States, begins August 13 in Green Bay and ends in California late December.
This leg of the tour starts in August in the Midwest, goes to West Coast in the Fall, then comes to a stop in California late December. We resume the tour after the New Year and continue on through the southwest, into the Deep South, and eventually up the east coast and into Canada.

Lauren Anzaldo
Lauren Anzaldo (on tour dec 1-15), a 24-year-old resident of Pensacola, Florida, spent two months this summer living and working in Jenin, Occupied Palestine (West Bank). While she was there, she taught English as a second language to elementary-school students at a summer camp and to employees of Physicians without Borders. She also volunteered with the International Solidarity Movement, a Palestinian-led movement of Palestinian and international activists committed to resisting the Israeli occupation of Palestine and to raising worldwide awareness about the conflict (www.palsolidarity.org).
Now Lauren is embarking on a speaking tour to share the truth about the Israeli occupation. She will discuss her experiences in Palestine: meeting and getting to know families, talking to people about their struggles, participating in direct action, monitoring human rights abuses and enduring an Israeli military invasion of the city of Jenin and days of Israeli-imposed house arrest.
