Reply #41: I'll continue to give to Aunt Sally's

Yes, they're religious and prigs and all the worst of it. However, my dad said they were the best thing that happened to him in a military hospital in WWII and I know one family personally that were pulled out of a migrant camp and put onto their feet by that organization, and they're certainly not the only family.

No, I don't like what they preach and I don't like a lot of their restrictions. However, the good they do outweighs the bad. Requiring their Spanish speaking workers to attend English classes in the US is a good thing, really. Even if they're linguistic blockheads like so many of us are, it will increase their ability to understand English even if they can't speak it and that will be of great value to them in coping with a majority English speaking country.

It would be instructive to know why the two workers refused the classes.

In any case, they're not the only charity I contribute to. I do contribute to them because I know what they've done for me and mine and want them to continue to do good works for the people they approve of. My other charities take care of the people they don't approve of.
