When the Kansas Hate group known at the Westboro Baptist Church announced it would picket a Bay Area School and Jewish Institutions, students at Gunn High School decided they could not sit by quietly. They organized a Love-in, waved homemade signs and attracted community support.
Meanwhile, a student at a different school had the same idea, but with a financial twist: to turn a negative into a positive by raising funds for charity. Jason set up a donation table across the street from a hate rally in his neighborhood and collected funds for donations to a civil rights group, a Jewish charity and AIDS foundation. The money will be donated in the name of the Westboro Baptist Church.
WATCH their inspiring rallies below.
I applaud these teens!
I’m so proud of these students, the teachers, and the administration!
Right now, somewhere, Martin Luther King is crying tears of joy. His dream is alive and stronger than ever.
Oh, my!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the idea that the protesting org is getting thank-you cards for donations made on their behalf to their targets!!! The irony is fabulous!! And probably quite effective! ::D::
