If the only motivation is because something bad happened there, then that's just stupid.

There wouldn't need to be a dime of taxpayer money spent. It wouldn't take much organization at all for a fundraiser drive to go viral and yield millions in private donations. And those could easily cover the costs of the new school. I voted no and still don't support a taxpayer funded version. That said, it is an old school and there are creative solutions to having it funded that would yield a better educational environment for the students. This isn't a "my God, what if a child finds a finger" type emotional response. From a purely logical perspective, the events at Sandy Hook would allow that community to essentially get a free brand new school to replace an aging relic. What's the downside here if it can be done through private donations?

why? If they vote on a bond to fund the new school, why shouldn't they do it? I can't imagine why it sould be any of your business what they decide to do.

There's a reason why many areas require you to disclose if a house you are selling had a murder in it, and that lowers the price. (why, you think the place is friggen' haunted?)

maybe not on an internet poll, but I'm pretty sure demo would win big on a ballot.

Hey Johnny we're going to need you to go that school where 20 of your friends were slaughtered last year and focus on learning okay?

As has been said, if they can replace the school with donated funding from those who care, more power to them. But this isn't the smart way to spend tax dollars.

Seems somewhat over-the-top. Should they have demolished Columbine too?

They'll probably guilt trip Congress to making it a Federal project. And the GOP will be too scared to upset soccer moms by voting against it. If they didn't go along, it'd be just another shot fired in their "War against women" |

Agreed. I'm talking about Federal dollars. Not a dollar of my tax money should go to that, but yes absolutely: if they want to tax themselves (which was my point), go for it!

There were people calling to demolish the Aurora theater too, and they acted insulted that the company planned to open the theater back up after the tragedy. I just don't get it....
