Middle East Peace Class Question

Hi Middle East Peace Students,

Julia Silverman, a journalist for the Associated Press, is interested in covering our video conference during the world's largest lesson plan. Mercy Corps approves and has asked for my permission. We are a democratic school so it is up to you. I am in favor of it. I have read some of her writing and feel that she would represent this project, and its participant, respectfully. It could be good publicity for the Palestinian students'[ struggles, the Mercy Corps Why Not program, and Trillium. If you are interested, below are a few links from articles she has written recently:

The question is, "Do you support having Ms. Silverman present during our video conference?" Please respond as soon as possible.

Peace,

Ken
