This is another example of the fruits of religious Fundamentalism. From the pulpit to the general congregation and from the general congregation to this. They say they don't hate. That's like putting perfume on horse shit and calling it something else. It still doesn't change the fact that it is horse shit they kick out from the pulpit.

Looking forward to this one, Leslea!



[Anne Whitehouse]

Beautifully done, Leslea. I look forward to reading the book.

This beautiful, intelligent examination of one of our country's most pressing issues should be studied in schools, in church groups, and at community centers. Through poetry, Leslea Newman asks us simply to be aware of our fellow human beings. Bravo!

A story that very much needs to be told again (unfortunately). So glad you're still out there speaking truth to bigotry, so many years after "Heather"
