Exclusion in CEDA, and Mark Whitney

[Kenneth Broda-Bahm <broda@midget.towson.edu>]

But I want to address the argument that no one is interested in 
discussing racism and exclusion in CEDA.  My understanding is that 
ethical discussion (and it is ethical discussion) must be grounded in 
events and not in conclusions or principles.  In other words it is tough to 
discuss exclusion in the abstract without resorting to ideology or platitudes.
When we have examples on the other hand, discussion overflows (e.g., he/she, 
Tracy/Paul).

I judged in the East and coached a multi-racial team as Morrisville made 
their debut.  I did not witness or hear specifically about the racial events 
that reportedly occurred at every Eastern tournament.  What did I miss?  What 
are we missing?  

I guarantee that narrative evidence will start the discussion that your 
conclusions has failed to start.

Best Wishes if you are still there,

Ken Broda-Bahm
