New book takes a hard look at $12 billion Milton Hershey School Trust

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mark-rosenman/the-chocolate-trust-regul_b_7497706.html

This new book is by an investigative journalist with the Phila. Inquirer.

It is particularly hard to read about how so many young people were thrown out of the school for very minor or mis-understood infractions or depression, with no ability to appeal.

The joke at the time was that the school was so wealthy that when the floors got dirty, they just built a new building with clean floors.
