Under a Scarf, a Lawyer Fighting to Wear It
By SABRINA TAVERNISE 9:07 PM ET
Fatma Benli has been a central, if reluctant, participant in the fight in Turkey over whether women who wear Islamic head scarves should be allowed to go to college.
Protesting against the government also brings huge risks. Several of the anti-maglev反磁浮 campaigners say they were threatened with arrest or other punishments if they caused too much trouble. A suspicious Mr Lu has a camera in the corner of his living room to record all meetings, either with journalists or officials. He cites a Chinese saying to explain the reluctance of people to become campaign leaders: “The shot hits the bird that pokes its head out first.”
For all the symbolism of the anti-maglev campaign, therefore, some observers believe middle-class China is prepared to challenge the authorities only when its immediate interests are threatened – and that recent events fall short of a challenge to the system.

reluctant reader
According to the experts there are several different types of reluctant readers. They can be intelligent children or teens who are interested in reading, but lack good reading skills, such as speed and comprehension. Some kids simply have no interest in reading and are at risk of falling behind. Other kids have specific learning problems that impede their ability and desire to read. The most challenging kid is one with excellent skills but has no interest in books or reading. There are no vocabulary lists or restrictions when writing for reluctant readers.
