my neighbor was quick to point out that
he believed w hat we are seeing is one
o f the most sophisticated and lucrative
pow er plays ever devised in academia.
“ This caper is going to outperform
those tw o classics; METRIC and the
NEW MATH. W e will see a wealth of
new power bases established in the
education com m unity - and new for­

My friend also pointed out that in a
recent article titled, “ W hat Should
Students Know & W hen? (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

future physicians, Chemistry I & II. If
parents want to know “ what-and-

edge, they are going to have to O R ­
G ANIZE and PARTICIPATE in the

barrier cannot be breached unless they

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.

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.
