From the Director's Drum Woe unto those who feel ambivalent. Students and others who dislike and downright hate their peers are once again acting out. Students who are not white or heterosexual are once again their targets. The first problem to me is a simple one and is one you may be familiar with, its the concept that a few bad apples will spoil a bushel of good ones. On the other hand, I feel very little for those that if not for their own fear of getting involved fail to act or to move from their place in the bushel basket.
Ambivalence is a great sin.
We are called by a higher power to not stay with our comfort. We are called to walk side by side and to stand publicly with those who others call, while under the cover of darkness, sinners, unclean, undesirable, and not welcomed members of this community. We are called not simply to care, but to act. Remember, perpetrators most often speak on behalf of the majority. Words and wringing of the hands are not enough.
