But after the college’s president, Billy C. Hawkins, appeared Thursday on “The O’Reilly Factor” on Fox News, describing how their choice had been criticized by many, donations from the show’s largely conservative audience flooded in.
The band, which had raised about $50,000 on its GoFundMe page before Mr. Hawkins’s appearance on Fox, took in more than $333,000 by Friday evening.
“Some alumni have come at me pretty hard; they don’t want the band to participate and say I am a disgrace to my race,” Mr. Hawkins told host Bill O’Reilly. “But this is about the students having an opportunity to participate in this national ceremony.”
Good for them. I am glad that are playing and accepting the invitation to play at such a Historical event. They even raised 3x the amount needed to go.

GOOD! People have begun leaving the PC plantation. Now the band has 3x the cash from generous donations through self motivation not through government mandates. Just as it should be.

We may be witnessing the biggest implosion of a party in history.
Dems require and expect all blacks to think alike, then accuse political opponents of suggesting all blacks think alike.
Guess no one is paying attention in the media to the head turning behavior of the dems.
