WHAT IS HE GOING TO TALK ABOUT?
TITLE: “Discrimination against Humanists and the Humanist Response.”
When Pete Stark, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, announced THIS WEEK that he has no belief in a god, new discussion emerged about discrimination against Humanists. In addition, Camp Quest, the Humanist summer camp for kids, has recently experienced discrimination and responded in the media in a positive way. The story appeared this week (3/2007) in the Cincinnati Inquirer.
Fred’s talk gives us all a chance to think about reducing and even eradicating this discrimination. You are welcome to share your own experiences in this interactive presentation as the group explores appropriate responses.
