About the Substance Defense and Contribution Fund
Substance reports news that other organizations are simply scared to touch, and with good reason: the truth can get you in trouble! Most famously,On January 26, 1999, Substance was sued for $1,400,000 by the Chicago Board of Education -- which charged us with "copyright infringement" for publishing what we maintain was a public document - the CASE (Chicago Academic Standards Examinations). After four years of exepensive litigation -- and a David versus Goliath struggle -- Substance was able to force Chicago to admit that CASE was worthless. The famous CASE case eventually had a split result.
If you want to support the publication of truth in a world continuously filled with PR BS, consider donating to our defense fund in addition to your subscription. All donations are greatly appreciated and go towards improving the quality and availability of our newspaper.
