Peace Rally in Traverse City

"For seven years Traverse City have been combinding conflict resolution services at (11 ) elementary schools. 500 students have been trained in CR skills and assist their peers in finding peaceful resolutions to everyday school related problems. The theme is "Have a Hand in Peace." Way to go Upper Michigan!

Can youu imagine if it was a required course in all public elementary school in th US? before moving on to high school? Is that too big brother? Well, big brother is screwing up and needs to change the focus! I ripped this article out of the local paper while on a short vacation. I think I'll send it to the Superintendent of schools in our area.

" If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children."--Mohandas Gandhi
