The problem isn't whether or not they should be allowed to reject this memorial. I think it's rather obvious that they should be allowed to do so, because it is their school.

The problem is that they want to, and why they want to. Our problem, as a society, is to figure out why our youth are developing such perverse values that they are willing to dismiss and disregard American heroes-- men and women who fought to protect their freedom-- and reject so thoroughly the notion of defending this nation.

These students are dishonoring an American hero, but stopping them from doing so would dishonor what that hero fought for. We need to find out what's causing this and fix that.
