Allowing this to happen is being complicit in the violence we see now occurring on our high school and college campuses.  The numbing of the child’s brain to react to witnessing death and destruction is what is happening in this center.  Common sense tells us that, and yet this place is allowed to exist and paid for by taxpayer funds.   

The federal budget allocated to the Department of Defense is almost $700 billion, with increasing funding coming this fiscal year, yet the Department of Education is allocated approximately $114 billion.  There is definitely an imbalance which must be addressed.   

The criminal complaint will go forward, and more protests and actions are planned for the future.
