- Same rights for Awlyn and Human.
- From Katia's blog:[1]
I was hanging out with Jan Weepman a little bit before school let out, and she's got this hairbrained idea about a student group that focuses on campaigning for equality between humans and Awlyn. Like that's ever going to happen! And as if the DC will even let her have that kind of club. But she told me that Prof. DeGrance was OK with it, as long as it didn't involve directly contacting humans or breaking Awlyn law (which means no revealing ourselves to humans), but she said it was good that Jan was looking to the future and stuff like that. And that equal rights between the species had not even been thoroughly established. Like the chaneque. They were not fully accepted as Awlyn because they're essentially human with a spiritual symbiont. And that the club should consider that, too.
- From the blog's "about":
Students for Equality Amongst all Life is a group of students seeking to bring acceptance of all life to all people. We think all life should be equal, but most importantly all people should be equal.
We look at eachother and we judge eachother for what we are and not who we are. Some of us walking down the street will see a man or woman and have our own prejudices based on their sex. We will see some people of other races and judge them by the color of their skin. We will see other people who look as though they may have differing sexual preferences than we have and we will judge them based on those.
If we cannot stop judging others of our own kind for what they are, how can we advance to a life where we do not judge anything for what it is? People swat spiders out of fear that the spider might bight them when the spider may have been eating mosquitoes carrying diseases. People look at bats, which also eat mosquitoes, and fear them as evil creatures. We fear the sting of a honey bee and drive them away from the flowers they pollinate in our gardens.
We have to learn to accept eachother for who we are - until that day we will continue to fear eachother for what we are.
