Why this is the wrong decision.  Asbestos and demotion removal should not be done while children and adults are present.  Children and adult bystanders are left unprotected from hazardous substance by the US government.

Monsanto wants to brainwash your children with 'Biotechnology Basics Activity Book'

Brainwashing
Big Chemical uses endearing foundation names to hide damaging products, like "Meat for the World," or "Give Bread to the Hungry."  These are not real names of foundations funding campaigns, ads, and some of your favorite programs -- but you get the picture.  The intention is to brainwash for political and public support and profit through ignorance. 

During the "green revolution" in India, Union Carbide opened its now infamous and deteriorating chemical plant in Bhopal India.  UC's mission was to make lots of money by using cheap labor to manufacture the pesticide Sevin.  The Bhopal Union Carbide plant was managed by Union Carbide home office (now Bayer CropScience) in Institute, West Virginia. 

The worst industrial disaster in world history. 
On December 3, 1984, the Bhopal plant, mismanaged and deteriorated, leaked the highly toxic chemical Methyl Isocyanate (MIC) into a highly populated community with no evacuation route available.  Instead of feeding the hungry, Union Carbide killed and injured half a million people and polluted a large part of India for many generations. http://www.unisa.edu.au/corpsocialresp/casestudies/bhopal.asp

What you don't know, can kill you.

Energy companies across California are injecting a mysterious mix of chemicals into the ground to tap oil deposits while frustrating attempts to regulate the controversial process, known as hydraulic fracturing.
