I'll second that. Are there any FReepers in Clearwater who can organize this?

Aw, cut her some slack. She's anti-ACLU becuase of abortion and her faith. She's on the right path. Dollar for donuts she doesn't understand the political details surrounding the NAACP. I'm glad that NAACP money is going into her education and not to Hillary.

group that ardently defends individual rights: the American Civil Liberties Union.

What a crock. The American Communist Lawyers Union was founded by Communist sympathizers and its first cases were defending Communists. We all know where Communists stand on the issue of individual rights ...

Why not? People have all kinds of personalities. She could have stood up for classmates from the time she was small, and she is a regular church-goer. I say good for her. It may be tougher for her money-wise, but she'll be more appreciative and hardened when she graduates.

Question: Why didn't someone tell her the ACLU was founded by Commies with the destruction of the USA from within in mind?

Correct. Most Black people still hold a romantic view of the NAACP from a time when it actually meant something for us, and hadn't sold out to Left.

It just came across to me as imputing a higher level of commitment that likely accurate, that's all.

There's several of those last names on zabasearch. When I get home, I'll make a few calls and see what I can find.
Thanks,

I think that it is wonderful she turned them down...as far as the ACLU "defending" individual rights...Since when?...they've campaigned against the paramount Constitutional Right to Life most recently in the Terri Schiavo murder case and have NEVER defended the 2nd or 10th Amendements to the Constitution ...I could argue the Klan is a "defender " of individual rights too...(opposition to Communism,Big Government,supported the Right to Bear Arms.....)

I would think that there would be some scholarship minded Freepers that could stand in the gap, and then some for her!

Why not forward this article to the Rutherford Institute, the Thomas Moore Center, and some of the other organizations you have listed and see if any of them offer scholarships that might be substituted for the one she just turned down from the ACLU.

Many of our conservative natured youth don't quite understand the depth of all of these organizations. So she has been fooled to believe the NAACP is good...so have many adults. I think she is sharp to see thru the ACLU who also fool many people into thinking they are good.

"Now on the brink of adulthood, the 18-year-old finds herself in disagreement with a group that ardently defends individual rights: the American Civil Liberties Union."

The only thing the ACLU defends is the destruction of America. Great to hear some 18 year olds have a head on their shoulders.

That is an interesting reinforcement idea! Sends a message too.

I'm willing to make a donation if anyone has info on this.
