Gaga to fund 162 classrooms in Dayton, El Paso and Gilroy

Recommended Posts

Lady Gaga has penned a letter to the victims of the recent mass shootings in El Paso, Texas; Dayton, Ohio; and Gilroy, California.

In the message, posted to her Facebook page, Gaga reveals that she has partnered with DonorsChoose.org -- as well as her own Born This Way Foundation -- to fully fund classroom projects in each of those cities.

She said she plans to give back to students and teachers in those communities, and directed fans to how they can similarly contribute to other classroom projects at schools across the country by going to DonorsChoose.org/bekind21.

She wrote, "14 classrooms in Dayton, 125 classrooms in El Paso, and 23 classrooms in Gilroy will now have access to the support they need to inspire their students to work together and bring their dreams to life."

sis that's pointless. It's about donating to candidate withs a gun plan. Everything is tied within the second amendment so unless a president/congress changes something, it's essentially wasted money. Atleast the parents dont have to worry about back to school costs on top of funeral costs as well as giving the communities a way to move forward.

 

Personally, I don't think it's the BEST thing to donate to...but it's not the worst. I think her foundation can only donate and fund specific things, unfortunately. U.S Laws are rather strict, especially when it comes to charities.

Okay but one of those cities is now thinking of easing up on their gun laws so citizens can protect themselves. I'm sorry, but outlawing guns does nothing to stop shootings from happening HERE. The United States is an overly fucked up country through and through and criminals will still get their hands on weaponry and the cycle will continue. Look at Chicago, they have some of the strictest gun laws in the country and yet their gun-related crimes are also still some of the highest in the country. So while strict gun laws may help in other areas of the world, it won't help here. Sad, isn't it? 

 

That's like making drug laws stricter and the punishment more severe... People are still going to use, buy, and create. 

 

Anyway, on-topic; Good for her for doing what is within her power to help these cities in their time of need and thereafter! A good and well-funded education goes a very long way in how the younger generations turn out in terms of success and such.
