| VA Sued for Shutting Down Innovative Trade School That Helped Homeless Vets Get Great Jobs |
| 2019-09-25 |
| h/t Instapundit [PJMedia] Last week a lawsuit was filed in the Northern District of Texas federal court alleging that the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Veterans Affairs office and its employee, Miguel Coias, knowingly and maliciously targeted the Retail Ready Career Center, Inc. (RRCC) for destruction with no evidence of any crime and, in fact, fabricated evidence against it. Jonathan Davis began his career as an installation helper in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) field. After learning the business, he and a partner started their own service company. While servicing customers he noticed the need for well-trained and prepared technicians. He also was fully aware of the growing veteran jobless and homeless crisis. Davis decided to open a school with a boot-camp-like philosophy using an intensive six-week program to serve the needs of the customers he had. This school would also be a place for veterans, many of them homeless, to use their benefits offered through the GI bill to get the education they were promised, which would, in turn, lead to a good job. Retail Ready Center, Inc. was born. Shut down because it cuts down academic (worthless pieces of paper for big bucks) business? |

| #1 That could be part of it, but Davis himself thinks that he was shut down because the VA administrators realized that he and people like him could end up making people cough up money that they were owed and that they generally never claimed. |
