Fatcat Prep School usurps land for Homeless Vets
By Gordon Duff Monday, November 23, 2009
How did the Brentwood School, whose tuition rivals Ivy League universities, end up with a billion dollars of land designated for the 20,000 homeless vets of Los Angeles? Simple, a single VA employee turned it over to them. Why would the VA involve itself in such an obvious “reverse Robin Hood” deal, stealing from the poor and giving to the rich?
Veterans Today contacted the Brentwood School, asking them if they offer scholarships for children of disabled veterans or any other preferred scholarship for children of veterans or the military based on the fact they are located on land largely owned by California’s veterans (not the Department of Veterans Affairs) they chose not to answer.
The children of the school aren’t at fault. None of this is their doing. The veterans are happy the children have one of the most valuable playfields on Earth. Children deserve no less.
However there is only one patch of land. As much as children deserve world class tennis, on courts build on land meant for veterans housing, homeless vets deserve housing, deserve it enough for the US government to decide to spend 3.2 billion dollars to correct this massive injustice.
If anyone were to wonder why so many veterans are homeless and the VA seems to be able to do nothing about it despite the endless millions spent, the VA managers devoted to the Brentwood School, managers who employ police to chase homeless vets away from land meant to house them is the reason.
