Some parents express concern over Dalai Lama visit

CALDWELL -- Some parents say they're concerned that Governor Dirk Kempthorne is having their children communicate with the Dalai Lama.

The Dalai Lama, the Tibetan religious leader, is in Sun Valley this weekend.

Kempthorne plans to send busloads of children to see him speak in Sun Valley on Monday. He also had students write essays related to the Buddhist leader's visit.

Some parents say Kempthorne's plans violate the constitutional separation between church and state.

Pam Smart of Caldwell, who is Jewish, says Kempthorne is using his position to influence others.

But Kempthorne's spokesman, Michael Journee, says the governor has been very careful about keeping the church-state separation intact with the Dalai Lama's visit.

Journee says the visit is not sponsored by the state of Idaho, but by private individuals.

And he says Kempthorne is taking part because the Dalai Lama is a dignitary and head of state.

They should give the parents the choice of the Dalai Lama, Michael Jackson or a priests' convention.

The guy had done some unspeakable things while he was Tibet's despot.

Even though there's a Buddhist saying that goes "A butcher who puts down his knife may become a buddha on the spot," I doubt he has repented.

After a very brief Googling, I see this is a "He said, She said" dispute between the two groups. Not going to bother with this.

I think we have a new contender for the most predictable post of year award. This one includes googling, where the poster didn't even bother to read the webpage. Classic UR.

quote: Finally, it should be noted that the criticism posed herein is not intended as a personal attack on the Dalai Lama. Whatever his past associations with the CIA and various reactionaries, he speaks often of peace, love, and nonviolence. And he himself really cannot be blamed for the abuses of the ancien régime, having been but 15 years old when he fled into exile.

It is interesting. It seems to hint that a lot Tibet's problems seem to stem from China's influence there historically. However, it's still rather amatuerish and reeks of counter-culture.

At least he's put down the knife, something we can't say for the Chinese Communist Party.
