Description
When I asked myself twenty-three years ago if peace could be taught and learned, I queried a few academics on their views. But after listening to them orate I responded like a journalist: disbelieving half of what they said and having grave doubts about the other half. I decided I needed to research this for myself to find a valid answer. I began by visiting the public high school nearest my Washington Post office and volunteered my services as a teacher of peace. The principal and faculty welcomed me, as did the students. That semester, twenty-five juniors and seniors enrolled in my course, Alternatives to Violence. They were hungry to explore the unmapped landscape of nonviolence, pacifism, and peaceful conflict resolution. Some students opened their minds immediately. They understood the teaching of Mohandas Gandhi: "Nonviolence is the weapon of the strong." They believed Martin Luther King Jr. when he said, "The choice is not between violence and nonviolence but between nonviolence and nonexistence."
