Shark Tale: The Complete Story

""Why are you activists always concentrating on the negative? Wouldn't your time be better spent focusing on the positive aspects of Italic Heritage?" - (variation "Get a life"")

We only wish. A perusal of this website is enough to demonstrate our commitment to "focusing on the positive". Trouble is, every modicum of progress we make is repeatedly neutralized or counterpointed by the infinitely much more powerful influences of the entertainment media. Hundreds of kids may attend our Aurora classes, but millions of kids will see Shark Tale, both here and across the globe.

Believe us, we don't enjoy engaging in issues like this. Give us some relief from the incessant diet of anti-Italian imagery from popular culture that continually undermines our efforts, and we'll focus exclusively on "the positive". We promise.
