You have finally done it!! As I read your post I totally lost my temper and my lunch appetite. When a government agency sinks to such depths that the Salvation Army becomes a target, then maybe all IS lost. As a young Jewish boy, I was told by my parents to NEVER pass a “SALLY” bell ringer, even if all I had was small change. As a young sailor, I recall the kindness done by them, quietly, steadily and constantly.
Good works, done by gentle people, without HUGE payrolls, without vast “do-good” campaigns, without “look at me” programs..are now to be judged, not by the quality of their charitable works, rather by their “POLITICAL CORRECTNESS”
I am a very large man, and when I bring donations of clothes to them, the genuine warmth of their thanks is so open and heart warming. One worker told me that they already knew who badly needed my large cast-offs and they would be given out within the week.
Now I know our government has reached bottom. How sad.
The president is the Chief Executive....he could tell the EEOC to stand down on this issue...or hold up their money pending emergency use in Iraq....
He needs to lead on this issue!
