It is disgusting what Maret did and shame on corrupt DC officials for pushing a backroom deal like this. Maret parents should be ashamed of this, a bunch of hyprocrites. Do as I say not as I do. When Maret plays Potomac on Oct 11th at Potomac, I'll tell Maret's parents exactly what I think of them.

Sure you will. You don’t have the balls.

Yeah, because you're all-knowing and can really judge what people on the Internet will do. I was at a party where this was being discussed, and one of the Maret alums there described herself as embarassed about the situation.

Please do! Apparently The Maret community doesn’t care about the opinions of ge community it is in so maybe they will care about the opinions of others in its private school community.

As a parent of a preschooler who is starting to look at private school options for K this puts a really bad taste in my mouth about Maret and makes me rethink sending my three kids there.

Consider Beauvior, which opens its playground to the public!

Maret is doing what Maret parents want them to do.

+1 Which is why it's so gross, especially with their posturing about actually caring about social justice. Yuck.

this also involves rich people .... so why is the post silent? Have you been tweeting @ them? I signed but did not tweet.

We travel across town to visit their playground. Now that I know so many playgrounds are shut during weekends I appreciate their community mindedness even more.

The local media ignored the story. Shame. Why did we have to wait several days only to have a national website cover it?

Dave McKenna is a local and national treasure. Thank God Deadspin picked him up after the City Paper had their cutbacks.

St. Patrick’s used their own resources and funds to buy and build incredible field space on Foxhall. And they’re a K-8 school! Why can’t Maret do that?
