Pot raid at school turns up tomatoes - The Santa Fe New Mexican

Espanola is a drug rattled community but this is ridiculous, I guess the New Mexican State Police provided the real lesson that day at school----- we live in a police state and that in America in the 21st century it is completely legitimate to raid a Montessori School, during lunchtime with swat and a helicopter gun ship.

Patricia Pantano the Director of Camino de Paz said she did not want to make too big an issue out of the raid, but questioned why such a commotion was necessary when anyone who asked would have been given a tour of the greenhouses.

"We're sitting here as a teaching staff, always short on money, and we're thinking, 'Gosh, all the money it takes to fly that helicopter and hire all those people, it would be great to have this for education.' "
