"In this case, a board member's church raised money to influence the
school board.  The money was given to the board president by that board

the school board to do what was in the interest of the church."

IN DANGER OF LOSING ITS TAX EXCEPT STATUS.  Vide:

Of course, maybe not.  The above case was an evil liberal church (Note,
Peace Prize winner D. Tutu's presence.), while the Dover's is a saintly one.
