Spoke to a "Middle Eastern American Communities" class about The American Tale (feival goes west), camels, 7-11s and slurpies, US-led invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, neo-colonialism, British and French sodomy laws, LGBT prides in Indian cities, Saudi-led Wahabism, Alice in Arabia (new ABC show), Sall Fields, Iran, and god-knows what else. In 50 minutes!! I told the students I tend to go and random tangents and they can read 5+ books on each topic. Bright class; young people with open minds, slowly developing critical minds. Phew! #Dickinson #Carlisle #LifeOfASpeaker #MainTalkTonight
