panish lecturer endorses tolerance
ontinued from page 3
as a teacher in Coleman, Texas,
and then came to A&M as a grad
uate student in Spanish. After
earning his master's degree, he ac
cepted a position as a language fa
cilitator for the Office for Interna
tional Coordination. He translated
University System documents and
tutored faculty who traveled
abroad.
I After a few years he was hired
on as a lecturer for the modern
languages department. He also
ent time teaching at the prison
Huntsville.
"At one time I was teaching
live musjmy regular classes, A&M faculty
' night. members and, in the evening, in-
mates," he said. "It was ironic that
lists. Tm
the inmates were the best stu
dents!" They were more interested
and dedicated than my other stu
dents - ironic in a society where
inmates are valued so little."
He said the inmate students
overwhelmed him with gifts of
paintings, handbags, pottery,
woodwork and leatherwork.
"They were overwhelmed that
anyone would treat them with re
spect," he said. "It's almost as if
society believes prisoners not only
lose their civil rights, but also their
human rights. We talk more and
more about inmates as if they
were animals."
Over the past few years, he has
started leaning back towards
Catholicism, because his views do
not mesh with the views of most
conservative Baptists. For exam
ple, he is pro-choice, and doesn't
think people should force their be
liefs on others.
"I think God vomits when he
sees Christians imposing their val
ues on others who aren't Chris
tians," he said. "Many of the same
people who are pro-life are also
for the death penalty."
For now, Caraballo is content
with teaching his students the
Spanish language and spicing up
his lectures with witty anecdotes
from his childhood in Puerto Rico
and his experiences of learning a
new language when he came to
the United States.
And although the "little E.T."
goes back to Puerto Rico about
once a year, he is doing just fine in
his adopted home.
