Who cares why he gave them money! These kids will be greatly helped by this donation. Please don't discourage people from making such donations by criticising their motives. Who cares if he gets a tax deduction or if he did it to look like a great guy. The bottom line is that despite the fact that many of you believe he should have given more, it is still $300K to a great cause! I know this is an old post, but I wanted to comment anyway.

Wooo weeee...there's some people with some pretty steep bank accounts.

John O’Quinn gave a handout
Shouted out he’s a standout
He said he doesn’t need money
There’s the proof he’s just a honey
The rich are often greedy
Not him, he helped the needy
Make a note of it you Y’all
And when it’s time make your call

He has money to burn, so the crumbs he throws out from time to time, aren't coming from his heart. I believe he always has a hidden agenda and "gets something" in return. He doesn't deserve any slack. If he truly wanted to help someone, he would do it and not tell anyone. That's how someone with real class and a real heart would do it, but then no one has ever attributed class or a good heart to O'Quinn, have they?

I'm applauding this effort right here and now. One of 'those kids' recognized me one day in a department store...and boldly came up to me and hugged me. Most of them are very shy and withdrawn, he was. I was astonished that day. Equal Justice and Matching Grants!!!
