  • A South Carolina High School Invites Falun Gong Practitioner to Lecture on the Persecution and Torture in China

     Recently, a Falun Gong practitioner was invited to give lectures on the Chinese Communist Party's persecution of Falun Gong to two high school classes in Columbia, South Carolina.

    The students were shocked at the facts of the persecution. Many students signed their names on a petition letter requesting an end to the persecution.

    The teacher who invited the practitioner teaches the two classes and did ample preparation in the classes before the lecture. The class before the lecture, she led the students in a discussion about the Chinese Communist Party's persecution of Falun Gong and its organ harvesting crime. She said many students wanted to know why this persecution was taking place. The class was 90 minutes long and the practitioner was able to use the entire class period .

    For the lecture to the first class of students, the teacher had invited her mother to the class. She and her mother had met Falun Gong practitioners and heard the truth-clarification in New York.

    The students were shocked when they were told of the torture and suffering that Falun Gong practitioners have endured in China. Many students signed their names on a petition letter requesting an end to the persecution and an end to harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners.

    From their hearts the students wanted to help stop the persecution. One girl wanted to join the group exercise practice.

    The next day when the practitioner went to lecture in the second class, a girl came to her and said that she had talked about Falun Gong to a Chinese woman in a local restaurant. The class had enabled the girl to understand the truth.

    When the second class ended, the students went up to the practitioner and warmly thanked her. The teacher hugged the practitioner and invited her to lecture to the students again next semester.
