LETTER: Not my funds for CRT teachings

Mr. Robison has written a very nice, supportive opinion piece (Editor’s Desk: Avoiding the Social Media Rumor Mill: The Progress Dec. 15, 2021).

Unfortunately, it is based on an un-truth. I personally read the “alleged” document that the Salvation Army published, and I can confirm that it explicitly states that white people are biased and should apologize to blacks specifically, and to all non-white people generally for their (white people’s) past sins, whether or not they actually sinned.

I categorically deny that I have any responsibility for whatever may have been done in the past by others, unless they were actually related to me, and maybe not even then.

I will not allow one cent of my funds to go to support any organization that espouses such garbage, and I encourage others to take the same position.

You claim that every cent donated in Mesquite goes to work in Mesquite, but I submit that if there weren’t sufficient funds raised in Mesquite for philanthropic purposes, the national organization would make up the difference.

I am also willing to bet that any funds in excess of the required local amount would be sent to the national organization, thereby supporting philosophies that I detest.

You are apparently a somewhat thoughtful and caring person, but I suggest the next time you opine on a subject, you at least get all the facts. Thank you.
