Controversy Over Cemetery Site for New School House

A critic denounces a proposed East Cemetery site for a new school as a grotesque idea likening it to a modern charnel house. The author cites historical grievances, mocks Revolutionary descendants, and imagines grim lessons from anatomy and fossils amid threats of graveyard desecration and a lax police presence.
