> VOICE FOR OUR VETS--Brentwood School, the private elitist school for children of the wealthy and powerful ($37,000 tuition) has made national news that exposes its underlying racist attitude. Here are two examples:
>
> - [**Brentwood School Racism Controversy: Video Of White Students Rapping N-Word To A$AP Ferg Song Fuels Complaints**](http://www.ibtimes.com/brentwood-school-racism-controversy-video-white-students-rapping-n-word-aap-ferg-song-2370660)
>
> - [**Barry Bonds claims racism at daughter’s school, shares video of white students rapping N-word**](http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/barry-bonds-claims-racism-child-school-shares-n-word-video-article-1.2641468)
>
> Brentwood School holds a privileged lease for its 25-acre athletic complex on Veterans VA property that was deeded exclusively as a National Home for disabled and homelessness Veterans. Los Angeles is our nation's capital for homeless Veterans while Brentwood School's lease was adjudicated in Federal Court to be "unauthorized by law and therefore void."
>
> The VA, along with Brentwood School, appealed the Judgment. VA Secretary Robert A. McDonald met privately behind closed doors with two of his personal wealthy and powerful friends -- Bobby Shriver and Ron Olson -- both are attorneys and neither are Veterans, and they unilaterally agreed to vacate the Judgment with a counterfeit settlement agreement that promised to end Veteran homelessness by the end of December 31, 2015.
>
> Los Angeles is still our nation's capital for homeless Veterans and Skid Row is the capital for all homeless in Los Angeles with more than 90% being Black, that includes countless war-injured and impoverished U.S. Military Veterans that need to be housed and cared for on this land instead of Brentwood School's athletic complex, UCLA's baseball diamond, City of Los Angeles's "rent free" public dog park, etc.
>
> While the federal judgment was fraudulently vacated, Brentwood School has plans to expand its athletic complex instead of being evicted. Now the School has been embarrassingly exposed for student's racist assault on Blacks and the Los Angeles VA is complicit in all of this.
>
> Bobby Shriver has a very serious conflict-of-interest as he has children that attend Brentwood School and he must be banned from any participation of any nature on Los Angeles VA property.
>
> The VA police have special privileges to use the Brentwood School athletic complex while all Veterans in general are prohibited from entering on property deeded in their exclusive behalf, and there's a so-called "sharing agreement."
>
> This is disgracefully corrupt and Mr. McDonald along with Ann Brown, executive director of the Los Angeles VA, must resign or be fired posthaste.
>
> The most corrupt VA in the nation continues to get more corrupt, and now it allows racist tenants on VA property with a "sharing agreement" that has been adjudicated "unauthorized by law and therefore void."
>
> These same corrupt co-conspirators continue to ignore their responsibility and promise to end Veteran homelessness in Los Angeles.
>
> Speak up and demand CHANGE at the Los Angeles VA.
>
> God Bless America and the Veterans Revolution!
