[Assam] Charity versus Social Justice

I heard the term and participated in a discussion at Teacher's College Columbia Univ, New York City while attending the East Coast Conference of Asha for Education www.ashanet.org/dc  .

 It was raised by the Chapter coordinator of the Princeton Univ chapter of Asha For Education at New Jersey.

Wonderful idea but if performed wrongly can lead to strife - as my Harvard Professor told us of Mexico's expulsion of Jesuits after they were accused of arousing the Native American Zapatas, Chiapas etc against the mainstream folks. They had to hand over their high schools too - including the excellent , glorius campus ones - as the professor then had noted.

But if not taken to extreme (some might get the drift of my comments) it is a wonderful idea -  do not indulge in charity only to maintain the status quo - but produce meaningful change.

Any comments?
