re: "'Coconut shell' students find their voice" (BP, November 13)
Dear editor,
Congratulations to the brave young minds of Suan Kularb, who show us, yet again, that it is the youth of Thailand who set the example of excellence in honesty, in open-mindedness, in critical thinking and in respect for all such democratic values. In a word, it is Thai youth, high school and university students, who set the moral example from which their benighted elders, stuck in their stifling coconut shells of repressive, willful ignorance, need to learn. Naturally, the bull frogs are croaking loudly at this timely disturbance to their slumbering moral faculties. Let us hope their children will continue to rebel against the bad old ways of their elders, leading even the greenest into the better-lit world beyond their too aged kala.
Felix Qui
