Like Chaplain MK, Mrs. Wright talked about people having courage and telling the world when people have done wrong. One example she used was of a man named Fred Korematsu, a who was only 23, a Japanese American who told the Supreme Court that putting Japanese in internment camps were wrong. He stood up for what he thought was right and lost and first, but in the end he was awarded the nation's highest civilian honor.
\nShe also gave us a handout that had questions such as, "Have you ever discovered that someone is doing something seriously wrong in school, in a club or a job?" and "Should you risk disclosing the classified information that spells out the criminal actions? What would be the consequences?". I thought that these questions were really interesting because I wonder what I would risk in my life to put others who have done in prison.
\nIn all, I thought that her talk changed the way I look at the government because of all these secrets, classified documents and situations where they think they can get away with anything. She talked about a man who risked his life and had to be put in witness protection because he told his supervisors that there was torture at the prison he was stationed at. When the news announced this, he was sitting in a cafeteria next to the men he had told on and was immediately sent out of there. I strongly admire people who are like that and will risk anything to tell on people who are being unjust. I am glad I took my time to listen to her and see what she had to say about whistleblowers, truth-tellers and traitors.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]}],"more":false},"comments":[]},"http":{"code":200,"status":"OK"},"redirectUrl":null,"javascript":null,"notices":{"warning":[],"error":[],"info":[],"success":[]}}
