Ceilie's Post

I was surprised last week when Mr. Williams explained to us that we would be researching the "Crisis in Congo" before the Moral Leadership speaker came to talk to us. I am usually fairly educated on current events due to the eavesdropping I tend to pay on my mother's favorite radio station that is often the soundtrack to her morning, but Congo is a name I hadn't really heard be the basis of any news discussions or even pop up in global updates. Once I learned about what was going on in this country, I was simply horrified. Between the offensive treatment to women to the abuse brought upon the innocent children, it disgusted me. I thought that from past experiences such as the Holocaust and war that people had learned to turn the other cheek when it came to hate and violence targeted at a specific group of people, but I guess it'll take some more progression for the whole of the world to finally make their peace with each other.
