Outraged

[lightning claw]

Recently in Arizona, they closed the John j Papous schools for the homeless and not so privileged kids, to put up Hi rinsed condos and such, what is the government thinking ! Are they even thinking for that matter? To me this is what they’re telling us .

We want to keep the poor, poor and uneducated so they will eventually wined up in our jail causing the state money rather than to educate them in a safe environment ,so one day they can make something of them self’s stay out of Prison and be a assist to the state .

I Feel outraged that these schools where no one is judged cause every one is either in the same or worse boat than the next fell a. It gave these kids a shot at the “American dream� if they worked hard for it, and we are about to Demolish their best shot at that goal. It Just Does not make any sense to me .
How do we know if one of throws kids could be the next president (farther down the line) or cure cancer or hiv or what not, or be the next flipen Albert Enstine it appears that there is no common sense in this choice .

The Thomas J. Pappas schools was funded by a charity. Whose leadership was removed due to it's accounting practices. The charity could not fund the schools and it ran into a 2.9 million dollar debt. They had to close all 3 schools by June 30th.

The choice is full of common sense. The charity went bankrupt. There was not enough donations and donations that did make it went through shady practices that probably siphoned off a good chunk of it.

When a business goes bankrupt they generally cease to exist with some few exceptions. That is the "American Dream" at work. Not all dreams pan out.

I also must object highly at the "How do we know if one of the throws kids could be the next president or cure cancer..." with the retort:

How do we know the kid wouldn't instead be the next Timothy McVeigh, or Jefferey Dalmer. Paper tiger.

Whatever way you look at it, it's a sad story and it's a shame kids are the vicims.
It sounds more like a nightmare than like a dream.

to put up Hi rinsed condos and such

Not to make light of the subject, but is that a job that comes after the window washer?
