Announcing friendship with secular conservative Heather Mac Donald
If you regularly follow conservative-oriented talk shows, there’s a good chance that you have heard of, or at least seen, secular conservative published author and speaker, Heather Mac Donald.
Republican Atheists’ President Lauren Ell first became aware of Heather Mac Donald when students associated with Black Lives Matter prevented interested listeners from attending her speech at Claremont McKenna College in Claremont, CA, on April 7, 2017. Mac Donald was forced to cancel her speech and had to instead livestream it. The college ended up punishing seven students for interfering with the speech.
Since then, Mac Donald has become a national sensation for free speech advocates, and has gone on to being widely interviewed about the many subjects she studies. On top of that, Mac Donald identifies as secular conservative.
Ell reached out to Mac Donald to see if she would like to be a friend of Republican Atheists. We are proud to announce that Heather Mac Donald has agreed to be a friend of the organization!
