WALLAWALLA, WASHINGTON, November 05, 2005: A class at Whitman college, Wallawala, Washington is investigating religious intolerance in the US. Students are learning that practice of religion is not a free as one might expect in a country that supposedly guarantees religious freedom under the constitution. Students are required to submit papers on a “particular form of intolerance.” Student Laura Nelson writes: “I am hoping to write a final research paper on the experiences of anti-Hinduism in the United States and reactions from the Hindu community, because the Hindu experience was not covered in detail during our class. I would like to communicate with, and, if possible, interview Individuals, authors or organizations who have experienced or know about anti-Hindu attitudes, events or experiences in the US.” Contact source above.
