Just a curious question that I was wondering if it fell
under like a "separate" but equal type thing ... we had a
4H club ( that is part of the county extension office )
that was denied a request for funds to travel to a 4H
sanctioned and sponsored event. These children WON a State
4H competition and were selected to move onto the next
level of competition, however the parents did not have the
financial resources to get them to another state for the
competition. The county commsioners voted Not to give any
money to the 4H club to continue on to the national level
of competition - however the commisioners have provided
money for transportation for other 4H children in the same
community to attend a 4H camp- just curious as to why 1 set
of children that needed money for transportation to camp
were allowed the funds - while the others that won a
competition were denied the funds to travel .. all within
the same county government.. any ideas ?? anyone ?
