….Read Kaplan’s work. Talk to him and look at who he is. You will find a person who not only knows and understands the Hmong experience in the United States, but one who deeply wishes that things be better for the Hmong. Here. Now. He is teaching his students to make that real.
Professor Kaplan said those things to his class for one reason only: to shock, disturb and outrage his students so that they would awaken and realize that real and ugly prejudice exists here in Wisconsin against the Hmong community, and that it is shocking, disturbing, and outrageous, and that something must be done.
Something is now being done thanks to Professor Leonard V. Kaplan, a professor who is not afraid to teach.
