How Specia l(Lesbians?)! Note the defaced American Flag in the background with the peace sign.( Emma Gomis, left, and Alex Eason, both 15, celebrate after hearing that Boulder High School's administration will let them spend the night in the school library to protest the 'direction the country is going.' )
Bob Vacca Quote on Colorado School Testing: [Please Note that Mr Vacca has a problem with American identity]:
"CSAP is a business-driven, government-enforced protocol designed to maximize American homogenity."
Jim Vacca on Israeli-Palestinian Conflict:
I approach this issue as a member of Tikkun, a grass-roots community that supports the Geneva Accord and a progressive middle path that is both pro-Israel and pro-Palestine. It seeks reconciliation as a pathway to security and peace. Tikkun's broader vision of transformation is reminiscent of Martin Luther King's struggle for freedom and dignity, a struggle inspired not only by a plan but a dream. The Geneva Accord is a workable plan paving the way to a dream of peace that can be realized.
Tikkun Resolution for Middle East Peace [Vacca is signatory]:
Return of Israel to its pre-1967 borders, with minor border modifications mutually agreed upon (language adopted at Taba in 2001 by both parties to indicate that a few Israeli border settlements and the Jewish sections of Jerusalem including the Wall would be incorporated into Israel, and that Arab sections of Jerusalem including the al-Aksa mosque would be incorporated into Palestine);
From the Tikkun Charter that Jim Vacca subscribes to, and one can conclude, he teaches his students:
As Americans we can no longer worry only about what is "best for America," as Jews we can no longer worry only about what is "best for the Jews," as Christians we can no longer worry only about what is "best for the Christians," etc. We need to see ourselves as manifestations of Spirit—the unfolding of the love and goodness of the universe as it becomes conscious through us.
