The school board agrees to adopt the policy urged by the students. But immediately the gov- ernments of Indonesia, Pakistan, Nicaragua, El Salvador and others protest that this is an unfair interference in their internal affairs and a viola- tion of free trade. They argue that no govern- ment agency in the United States has the right to discriminate against particular countries on the basis of policies those countries did or did not enact. According to these countries, it is a clear instance of an unfair trade practice. They point out that you don't see Indonesia refusing to buy paper products from the United States because they are clear-cutting their forests. Do you agree with the governments of Indonesia, Pakistan, et al?
