On yesterday's Confederacy Under Attack, I found the headline about the high school student not wanting to take a scholarship from a "Confederate Organization" of somewhat interest, so went to the article in Slate Magazine. The site was essentially a "Dear Abby" one where advice is given, in this case by Emily Yoffe.
The high school student wrote: "Help! Should I Accept Scholarship Money From a Confederate Organization? I Don't Want Racist Money!
I think it would imply that I was proud of my Confederate ancestors, which I am not, and that I support this organization, which I don't. Am I being 'too PC?"
His/her parents had said to take it if she got it.
Actually, I wonder why he/she even bothered to write Emily as her intent is fairly easy to see. I know our local Chicago area Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp #506 at one time offered scholarships to high school students in Illinois of Confederate descent. I imagine some United Daughters of the Confederacy groups do as well.
Personally, I never donated a single "racist" dollar to any of those scholarships.
