No problem!

My stance is this investigation is an opportunity for science to evolve and government agencies to learn from novel cases, such as what’s supposedly going on in this school.

If this investigation brings us new insights about how cancer develops in humans as well as how toxic chemicals play a role in our ongoing environmental issues, then I’m all for it. Looking at long term solutions instead of short term.

“Although we appropriated the funds, we fully expect to be reimbursed for any expenditures through State and Federal entities and we have made that clear to all parties involved and we have received assurances that they would work with us to accomplish this goal.”

I say “new concerns” because there is proof that this school has had concerns as early as this past summer:

“The issue is folks have a predetermined narrative.”

So are you claiming that science and government is above that? C’mon, give me a break.

We are all in this together; I’d prefer we all learn from each other rather than fighting. This is an opportunity to advance science and possibly create better policies in government regarding toxic chemicals - that is, if the new investigation does find new concerns.

Let’s wait for the investigation to be complete and hope for the best.

Although, I would feel suspicious about the school, because this letter was sent out to parents in September:
