Would you send your child into an unsafe facility? You do every day you send your child to a government school.
"Three years before a fire ravaged San Jose's Trace Elementary this week, the school underwent a major remodel to upgrade classrooms and expand space. But the $3 million renovation didn't include a safety feature that fire officials have long sought California to require in classrooms: automatic fire sprinklers.
And when the school is rebuilt this summer, school officials probably won't include sprinklers this time either.
That's because state codes that require fire sprinklers in new schools and starting Jan. 1, in new homes for the most part don't apply to existing schools or even to brand-new buildings on old campuses.
And unless the state requires sprinklers, insurance companies won't cover the cost to install them even when rebuilding a burned-down school like Trace."
Government instead of protecting children is putting them in harms way. Where is the boycott of unsafe schools? Where are the parents at school board meetings--where are the Recalls?
How many children will government harm before it does the right thing? I do not blame government--I blame parents who allow their children to be harmed by government. This is child abuse, by parents and government.
