Seizing the moment at Notre Dame

Father John Jenkins, the president of the University of Notre Dame, probably yearns for days past when the only angry messages waiting for him related to rehiring head football coach Charlie Weis for a fifth season after Weis’ dismal 6-6 performance in 2008. Today, Jenkins is being targeted not by bad sports but by conservative Catholics sporting really bad attitudes about Notre Dame’s decision to welcome the president of the United States to campus next month to serve as commencement speaker.

The president recently returned from an extraordinarily successful visit to world capitals in association with the G-20 summit. The massive crowds in cities from London to Prague waiting for hours to catch a glimpse of the 44th president would be baffled by the ND-Obama rancor.

Well-acquainted with abortion politics in America, Notre Dame’s graduating class is less confounded. Indeed, an overwhelming majority are delighted by the opportunity to have their special moment embellished by Barack Obama’s intelligence and eloquence.

Some of the reaction to Obama is still post-election sour grapes. Obama netted 54 percent of the Catholic vote nationwide, including a sizable share in Notre Dame’s home state of Indiana, where he became the first Democratic presidential candidate since 1964 to win the Hoosier State’s electoral votes. Obama’s victory loosened the grip the GOP had on middle-income families, a result of Ronald Reagan’s likable personality and his stance against an abortion rate in excess of 1 million per year.

Obama’s views supporting abortion rights and embryonic stem cell research are pragmatic. Obama knows this is less than the absolute legal prohibition demanded by the hierarchy of the Catholic Church in America. Obama successfully found some common ground during the campaign by advocating abortion reduction with enhanced economic and social support, especially for poor, uninsured and often unemployed women. In addition, the president advocates stronger families and teenage responsibility.

Not enough. Chicago’s Cardinal Francis George, who met with the president in the Oval Office on St. Paddy’s Day, can be seen on YouTube stirring up letter-writing and e-mail campaigns. The local bishop in Indiana plans to boycott the graduation altogether.

Many Catholics, including this one, find it hard to reconcile this approach with the image of Christ in Matthew’s Gospel never turning away even “sinners and tax collectors,” though no one could blame Obama Cabinet officials for steering clear of tax collectors. Jesus’ method was one of inclusion, teaching with generosity, forgiveness and truth — not snubbing those in high office.

Of course, the truth of unborn life is disputed inside and outside the church. Catholic teaching insists that the personhood of the unborn child is not just a matter of faith but of objective science and the natural moral law available to all. Science does confirm that the first fertilized cell is unique and different from mother and father. But scientists do not claim to establish when legal personhood begins — that, most say, remains a political judgment. For me, it is faith informed by love — but that’s for another column.

Will Obama talk about these differences at ND? He is courageous enough to do so, and he is overdue for a Catholic moment. Unlike his masterful dominance of the rest of the national conversation, Obama has let the right wing frame his post-election ties to the Catholic constituency. For example, when Obama suspended George W. Bush’s hastily drafted eleventh-hour conscience clause regulations, the word went out that this was the end of Catholic hospitals. Not so, but to make the point, the Obama team needed to highlight well-established federal and state laws that already permit medical personnel with moral and religious objection to refrain from abortion practice.

Of equal importance is reminding America of how his administration has already assumed the mantle of Catholicism in winding down the war in Iraq, establishing a greater social safety net for the poor, setting out a bold plan for eliminating nuclear weapons and jump-starting a serious interfaith conversation with Islam, long sought by the Holy Father himself.

At Notre Dame, Obama might remind all of us not to make the perfect the enemy of the good. On May 17, as he stands at the foot of Our Lady’s Golden Dome, it will be 85 years to the day the Notre Dame Irish beat back the lit torches of Ku Klux Klan hatred that had spilled onto the campus. Three-quarters of a century ago, plus 10 years, the “fighting Irish” defeated the ignorance and prejudice of the KKK with their fists.

Today, they and we are blessed to use our minds — if they are open.

Douglas W. Kmiec is the author of “Can a Catholic Support Him? Asking the Big Question About Barack Obama” (Overlook/Penguin, 2008). A former dean of the Catholic University Law School, Kmiec taught at Notre Dame for nearly 20 years before joining the faculty of the Pepperdine University School of Law.

Hong Kong students start vote on Tiananmen killings

HONG KONG (Reuters) - A Hong Kong student union is holding a student vote on whether China should apologize for its crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in and around Beijing's Tiananamen Square 20 years ago in which hundreds were killed.

While China has tried to whitewash any commemoration or mention of June 4, formerly British-ruled Hong Kong has remained the only city on Chinese soil where annual June 4 vigils, remembrances and protests are tolerated.

Faced with growing student indifference, the Hong Kong University Student Union kicked off the three-day vote on whether China should "rectify" its verdict that the June 4 protests were counter-revolutionary and that killings were justified.

"After 20 years of denial and injustice, the world has had enough," the union said in explaining the need for a referendum.

"As the heirs to those who have fought and died for the freedoms which we now enjoy, we all share a duty to step forward on their behalf lest all their sacrifices be in vain."

The vote comes amid recent signs of on-campus tensions in Hong Kong between democratic-minded students and conservative elements wanting to tone down the criticism of Beijing, particularly among students from mainland China.

The demonstrations that drew more than a million people on to Beijing's streets are now a fading memory and the killings are still taboo in mainland Chinese media.

A so-called "democracy wall" on the University of Hong Kong's campus used to raise awareness of June 4 through photographs, essays and posters was recently vandalized.

Africa [My World] -- Photo Journal

Today During Humanities Class We study about Africa and how there life is and how do they study how do they learn.
We are going to now say about our life and say about how different between us and the Africa student.
And we are also to going to share our goals to them.

We Study in Hsinchu International School.







In School We study with apple computer's, We have to bring our computer everytime to learn and to study.
We use computer to learn to study in class a and to do homework also. Sometimes we use computer to have a quiz or test and sometimes we use hand writing.









We have Spirit week and some Holiday and in our school everyone always smile and happy and were all like a big family :]













And in the morning we have all school gathering, We use to talk and when any teacher or any student have any things we always share it together.And sometimes we do activity and we get into groups.







This is our school life.

And I think the different between taiwan international school and africa school is that:

1. We use apple computer to study and they don't use computer to study they use handwriting.

2.In africa they have a lot of place and small house and they paint art on it and it's very pretty.

3.They have a lot of farm and place that have a lot of animals.

4.They were the clothes that is not same with us and they have different hair kind's too and I think that and they have different life with us and they eat different food too.

5.They speak different language.

6.There skin color is not same with us too.




GOALS:

1. In my goals I think I want I hope that i can learn better my english and I think is same to the africa student too. Because they come from a lot of country and there first language is not english so I think they can speak good english and learn more too.

2. I wish i can have a good grade and i wish that i can know more things and know more study more about life and something different between international school and local school.And I think that africa student have to learn more and know more too because that they come from different place and I think they have to know more about the place that the person people live.





That's It
