If we can put something together, it sounds as though many are willing to donate. How can we make everyone aware once we get it together?

They felt that since she was involved in the youth chapter of her local NAACP branch that she was a "fellow traveler." I'm happy to see that she is standing up for her own morals and convictions. I'm also thrilled that her parents are supporting her and her decision.

I'm sure she'll find other monies for school.

 

Double-barrelled Mega-PING! to both lists! If you want on, FReepmail me!

Just called the MT Carmel Baptist Church in Clearwater, but the church offices were closed (open 'til 1:30 p.m. CDT)

Number is: 727.446.6137.

I'll try again tomorrow to see if they would take donations for a scholarship for her.

"...a group that ardently defends individual rights..."

If you believe that, I've got some ocean front property in Arizona that I'd like to sell you.

She sure will. I'm thinking about a $5,000 donation for her to attend FAMU.

OVS is getting info. I can throw a web page or site up if the Church doesn't have one.

Guess they thought that if she were involved with the NAACP she would be pro abortion and anti family, oops the ACLU was wrong. She's an active church goer. Good for her, I wish her well. Cal is right, there is hope.

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

Sounds like she is already an adult and with a mind of her own just something the ACLU does not approve of

As for ardently defending individual rights that only counts if you an ANTI-AMERICAN individual !
