Not The Onion: Moral Monday Leader Says Lower Tuition Proposal Is Racist.

Last week I alerted folks that Bully Barber was calling SB 873 racist. What the bill does is lowers fees and tuition rates for instate students at certain NC colleges, therefore making it more affordable for minorities and poorer students to attend.

Cyndi Lauper Forces Fans To Donate To Gay Rights Group Via Ticket Purchase

Cyndi Lauper wants to make sure all people are equal. By forcing you to pay for her beliefs.

Dear Ms. Lauper…

It’s one thing for you to want to give to a charity, Ms. Lauper, but it’s quite another to force fans who may or may not disagree with you to be the ones paying that charity. That’s what you’ve just done by allegedly giving 100% of the profits of your show to Equality NC .
You say you want equality for all people, yet you’ve made it mandatory that a fan paying for a ticket subsidize your personal beliefs. There is no regular ticket option. Only an agenda tied one. You are a hypocrite. Continue reading
