The children don't pay the taxes, and are not voters. If you were to ask a child who they wanted for president you may get Mickey Mouse as an answer.
So as a responsible parent I would take their request to "see the seals" into consideration, and shuffle them over to Sea World.
As for the Children's Pool Vs The Scripps Trust Issue, I would stand solidly on the side of the laws that allowed the creation of the Trust.
The Trust intentions were clear, and created for the benefit of the people and children of San Diego, not as a wildlife sanctuary.
Its OK to be different, but don't think your differences gives you the right to impose your ways onto others. Especially in the case of a Trust, or Will where its intentions were clear.
