I've wondered this same question for months honestly; for those who believe in apparitions will see this building as forever haunted while others such as myself see this building as far too sentimental and negative nostalgia for any child to attend it once again. Deaths happen everywhere, but it's just the thought of those little children dying in the building is what makes me sort of sad in a sense and I would never consider sending children back to a building that has had a mass-muder. I know some would be against the govt rebuilding it, but this could be done privately; I wouldn't mind donating a few dollars towards building a secure, beautiful, monumental campus that gives the parents and most importantly the children the sense of security they deserve.
If Fairfield County would like to use the former school for county offices them by all means they should be able to, but to put children back in there would be hell on earth for them. Sure there is more land in the Sandy Hook area that could be used for a school.
I was going to say it should be used as it was before the shootings. But then I thought about my mom and step dad. My half brother was killed on a mini bike when he was twelve. It happened maybe a mile from their house. Within a two years they moved to a town twenty miles away. So, I understand parents not wanting to send their children back to this school.
There is a spot where I lost a loved one. For a couple of weeks, I felt a need to visit the site. I think I felt I might find some remnant or even discover he wasn't dead and that some mistake had been made. Now that that spot has been bulldozed and is no more, I also feel a loss. It's almost as if he never existed.
The area is different now and I don't visit or want to.
I've read that the cost of rebuilding that school will be 37 million dollars. If this is truly a local issue as some here say, that should be good for a 100 percent property tax increase. Just think of all the good that 37 million can do to truly help or prevent crimes. I'll never understand the feel good mind of a liberal. I thought the World Trade Center should have been built bigger than it was after 9/11. That's how you empower victims and disempowerthose who carry out these acts. You can't run from bad things in life, you face them and become stronger!
