EDITOR—I am a Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) in secondary school looking forward to joining university. I am very concerned about the way SDAs are treated at some public universities.

There are always examinations and lectures on Saturdays. Saturday is Sabbath for SDAs and no work whatsoever is supposed to be done.

However, I sometimes feel guilty because students of other religions or Christian denominations in Seventh Day Adventist schools are forced to attend church on Saturdays.

This is punishing those who pray on other days, and other ways.
As part of the Seventh day Adventist community in this country, I do not see sense in aggressively seeking audience about not attending lectures or doing exams on the Sabbath Day when we have turned a deaf ear to other people’s complaints.

This letter is not intended to disrespect the leaders in Seventh Day Adventist schools or in public universities but is meant to draw the attention of the administrators that there is need for self-examination for a better Uganda.

We should not do to others what we would not like them to do to us.
