Charlie Crist sides with teachers union over black clergy in school choice program lawsuit
Miami Herald ^ | 9/10/14 | Marc Caputo

Charlie Crist is siding with the teachers union — not African-American ministers — over a new lawsuit that seeks to dismantle the state’s major school-choice program.....

Crist made his choice clear Wednesday when he refused to heed the request of a major Panhandle civil-rights leader, the Rev. H.K. Matthews, who asked the Democrat to “publicly denounce” a new teacher union-led lawsuit that seeks to dismantle the major school-choice program.

“You cannot stay silent on this lawsuit,” Matthews wrote. “These families deserve to know if you support or oppose the lawsuit to evict 70,000 poor — and mostly minority — children from their schools.”

If the black preachers had a union, then maybe 'the tan one' would care.

Charlie Crist. Adding new layers of meaning to the word "despicable".

Rev Matthews, have you not been told time and time again? All blacks in America must stay on the plantation - the DEMOCRAT PLANTATION! Now get with the program!

I don’t understand why Republicans (ok, conservatives) don’t try to do more with black evangelical churches to make common cause over things like school choice, black babies being disproportionately aborted (I’m against all abortions, personally) and illegal immigration.

I’m getting three emails a day from that HOMO Crist campaign looking for donations

Spamming with different senders, its disgusting, and there is no way to get off the list via a link on the email like there is supposed to be

You’re right, but why do you think they call the GOP the “Stupid” Party ?

Very few churches, evangelical or otherwise, black or white, encourage parishioners to vote in elections.

Some few do, but most don’t.

Some think the IRS will go after them if they do.
Others just calculate that offerings will decline if members concern themselves with the “evil of politics”.

It never fails to shock me just how many “conservatives” consider actually voting in scheduled government elections to be a thing best avoided.
