Some Newtown officials voted
to tear
down and rebuild Sandy Hook elementary school at the cost of 57
million dollars. In these days of austerity, surely there is something
more useful to do with that money.
I think that it was a mistake to move the students to another building
after the shooting, because that encouraged them to feel they should
be unable to cope with being in that building, which is why people are
considering spending 60 million dollars replacing the building. When
you fall off the horse, you should get right back on it, and that
applies here too.
