Lomitas Elementary School, A "National Blue Ribbon School"

"The price of justice is eternal publicity."
-- Arnold Bennet

The American Society for Ethics in Education was originally developed out of respect for the children at Lomitas Elementary School (Victorville, CA), which recently received the "National Blue Ribbon School Award" from President Clinton. Unfortunately, this school has subjected children to horrible situations and has caused great harm to teachers who have tried to help these children. In addition, the National Education A$$ociation, the California Teachers Association, the United States Department of Education, and the California Department of Education all sat around while this was happening. Be sure to explore this site, in detail, and find out what's really wrong with the educational system in the United States. You will want to be a regular visitor to keep abreast of ongoing developments.
