An Oregon foundation created from timber money has pulled its support from a local school system that has become too PC for the conservative organization's blood. Used to be that any kid growing up in or around the logging town of Philomath, Oregon, got free ride to college courtesy of the Clemens Foundation (grants were for $4000, the cost of tuition at Oregon State). But now the foundation feels the school system is actively biased against the values the foundation itself stands for. Citing an strong anti-timber bias in the newly yuppifying community, the Clemens people note also that the school system has recently adopted a liberal dress code that allows students to dye their hair and pierce their noses; that a homosexual club has formed at the high school; that the high school's wooden American Indian mascot was removed because it was found to be discriminatory; and that the curriculum is permeated with an anti-logging bias. Ah well. Clemens was only a $30 million foundation. Now the Philomath schools sound like perfect candidates for Ford Foundation grants. With its $10.8 billion endowment, Ford seems better suited all around to an upwardly mobile community that is growing more interested in parading its enlightened views than in preserving respect for its roots.
