How You Can Help

We need the help of everyone to overcome the discrimination perpetuated by Principal Veita Jackson-Carter against students who are of proud of their Confederate heritage and ancestors.

We need the help of everyone who believes students have the right to freedom of speech without censure as provided by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Each one that supports the efforts of www.hawthorneheritage.org is helping support the freedom and justice that made America a great nation. Please join the fight for freedom and justice at Hawthorne High/Middle School. Stand up for your children, stand up for the students, and stand up for your rights and the rights of all Americans. Together we can make a difference.
