Campus Greens Hosts Protest At Idaho State Capitol Nov. 22

---

Members of the Campus Greens, a Boise State University student organization, will host a public meeting at 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 22, at the Idaho State Capitol. The event is part of a national protest of the School of the Americas. Speakers include Boise State sociology professor Martin Orr, Idaho Green Party member Gwen Sanchirrico and Mia Croswaite, a representative of the Catholic diocese. For more than a decade, student, religious, human rights and social justice groups have converged every November at the gates of the School of Americas� Fort Benning, Ga., campus to engage in nonviolent direct action. School of the Americas (recently renamed the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation [WHISC]) is the U.S. Army�s principal Spanish-language training facility for Latin American military personnel. Campus Greens protesters claim human rights violations by the school�s graduates.
