What a joke that this club would cause racial tension but the black and asian clubs would not.   David L. Ben Franklin:  “Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt, they have more need of masters.” -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Charles Sent: Saturday, September 20, 2003 11:22 AM To: 'The Sandbox Discussion List'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Sndbox] Girl Wants To Start Caucasian Club At High School Girl Wants To Start Caucasian Club At High School POSTED: 8:41 a.m. EDT September 18, 2003 OAKLEY, Calif. -- Lisa McClelland says she isn't a racist. She says her campaign for a Caucasian Club at her California high school is a move toward diversity, not bigotry.  SURVEY Should a California high school student be allowed to start a Caucasian Club? Yes, if there are other clubs like the Black Student Union and Asian Club she should be allowed to. No. There should be no clubs targeting any ethnic group. No. Only minorities should be able to have clubs targeting an ethnic group. Results  |  Disclaimer She says everyone is invited -- and nobody will be excluded. McClelland's ethnic background includes American Indian, Hispanic, Dutch, German, Italian and Irish. She says she and her friends feel slighted by other clubs at Freedom High School in Oakley, such as the Black Student Union and the Asian Club. McClelland says she's collected 245 signatures of support from students, adults and others since announcing her plans three weeks ago. One person who won't be signing up is Darnell Turner, first vice president of the local chapter of the NAACP. Turner says he thinks the club will create racial tension.
