(NEA Today, S e p t ’91),” Executive Director Bill Aldridge of the National Science Teach ers Association (NSTA) inadvertantly made a telling point for a long-term position of mine; Mr. Aldridge said, “ W e look upon students who enroll in even three years of high school science as future scientists or engineers - but in EVERY OTHER INDUSTRIALIZED NATION, all students study at least three years o f high school science. There we go again; the man is making acase for FOREIGN IMPORT because like 99% of the whites in volved in education, he doesn’t know that m the average ghetto high school before W orld W ar II (like mine in St. Louis), THREE AND OFTEN FOUR YEARS OF SCIENCE W ERE RE QUIRED.

Official Statement by Urban League of Portland: President Dr. Darryl Tukufu on Pillay Hate Crime The hate crim e com m itted Monday at the George Pillay family hom e dem onstrates that racial prejudice and intol erance are far from dead in our society. The person or persons who spray painted the threats inside the Pillay home proba bly live in our own com m unity. The fact that the victims of their attack are visi tors from a distant land makes m e espe cially sad. Along with our sympathies, the Urban League has offered its coun seling and support services to the Pillay family. This case has probably attracted more media attention because the vic tims are natives o f South Africa, a coun try where racism was institutionalized (using the American slavery system as a model). This w eek’s incident causes one to wonder what are the differences between South Africa and our own country today in terms of racial atti tudes. H B IB IB I .............“..... ■ W hile this attack reaches the front pages, we w onder how many other hate crim es are going by unnoticed. Last year 202 hate crimes were reported in M ultnomah County. In just the first six months o f this year 165 were reported. Clearly, prejudice is on the rise in our com m unity. W hen hate based on race becomes so common, we begin to wonder how such a situation could develop. Racism can enter a society in subtle ways. Is it really any different for people in profes sional positions to make racist remarks in a downtown cafe or at a private party? Is that any worse than violating som eone’s home while they’re away? O r arc these just two sides of the same coin? Perhaps this is a good time for us all to examine our consciences and to prom ise ourselves to work harder to make prejudice unwelcome in our communtiy.
