Where wrong becomes right, where worse becomes the better reason and where people who have murdered become human rights protectors. Well, I think the American people are well aware of the record of the School of the Americas. We owe it to them, and we owe it to the memory of Sister Dorothy Kazel, the other nuns, the Jesuit priests, the civilians who have been murdered, and to everyone else who has ever been terrorized by the School of the Americas, to see that this school be shut once and for all. This is the Congress of the United States of America, and it should not let anyone defile the name 'America' in our own name on our own soil with our own tax dollars. Close the School of the Americas.
