The billboard was an advertisement for Alterna Hemp Shampoo, a product with hemp oil as an ingredient. They saw the billboard, which was right across the street, and felt a lot of little kids, kindergartners and first-graders, would only see the marijuana leaf and not see the shampoo bottle. Alterna moved the sign several blocks away as a result of the children's letters. It's just unfortunate that we are not going to offer it in Moline, especially since the idea of the scholarship came about because of the students at Ericsson. She said the scholarship will be made available to students in California.
Freedom has nothing to fear from the truth.
