THE FACTS

  • Six people were killed on Sunday during a fatal shooting at a Sikh tempe in Wisconsin

  • Sikhism was founded in India as an offshoot of Hinduism.  Over 500,000 Americans adhere to the Sikh faith.

  • Law enforcement officials, one of whom was injured by the shooter, stopped the shooter


WHY WE CARE

  • Especially during the Olympics, national pride and unity is at a high.  Tragedies that affect one section of our nation such as this one affect us all.

  • This tragedy and the mass shooing in Aurora, Colorado only two weeks ago remind us we need to come together as a generation.


OUR TIME OPINION

We are the future of this country, and it is up to us to ensure that our freedom of religion is never at stake.
