What are the relevant accomplishments of "Angus Worthing" or "Brett Young"? Their names are listed here as though someone should care.

Dr. Worthing is a graduate of Princeton University and the University of Minnesota Medical School, where he was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha national medical honor society and received the Medical Student Achievement Award. He completed internship and residency in Internal Medicine in 2006 and rheumatology fellowship in 2008 at Georgetown University Hospital, Washington, DC. He also received multiple honors including the Medical Humanities Award and nominations for the String of Pearls Award, given by Georgetown university medical students for excellence in teaching. He is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine at Georgetown University Medical Center.

Dr. Worthing has an interest in public policy. He served as chairman of the American College of Rheumatology’s Government Affairs Committee, helping to lead the advocacy agenda for rheumatology on Capitol Hill and at federal agencies like Medicare and the FDA. He also chairs the Public Policy Education Committee of the Rheumatism Society of the District of Columbia, for which he served as president in 2010. He serves on the Board of Directors of the American College of Rheumatology. He is a member of the American Medical Association and the American College of Physicians.

none of this is relevant to education

Uh, you didn’t read it, did you? Try again, focusing particularly on this sentence, “He also received multiple honors including the Medical Humanities Award and nominations for the String of Pearls Award, given by Georgetown university medical students for excellence in teaching.”

You cannot possibly pretend that this gives this person even the slightest insight into K-12 education policy. If you do, it suggests that you know neither K-12 nor graduate school.

I guess you didn't heed the advice to stop digging. So let me ask you this: Dr. Worthing came into this discussion because he was a supporter of the Keep Old Hardy Public campaign. What insight into K-12 education policy is necessary to know that signing away the Old Hardy building was a bad idea?

Why ship kids across the city? It makes no sense. But this is Bowser/Ferebee country where IQ does not play into facts.

If you don't know any families with public school kids that says more about you than the makeup of your neighborhood.

Easier to just call the two black leaders stupid because PP doesn’t agree with them.

FCCA BOARD MEMBERS
The elected Board consists of seven to nineteen volunteers who decide amongst themselves who will serve as President. Elections are held each year at the November General Meeting.

I have not heard of any election happening in November, and I have checked recent Listserve messages to make sure.. 🤷‍♀️

How does one “volunteer” for the FCCA Board? One way or another we need to oust the current leadership. They are making the neighborhood synonymous with views that have no place in the modern era. If there bylaws are such that the leadership cannot be changed through democratic processes, then the city has to become involved.

That said, I resent how many posters are taking about the people in this community like they are all the same, and even using the term “Foxhallers” in a derogatory way. With any issue, it helps to keep a nuanced view, and not to assume that everybody in a group is the same. Unfortunately I think the leadership of our neighborhood is made mostly of elder people, who are pretty conservative and sometimes shortsighted.

I recognize parents and younger people are in part to blame for not getting more involved, but the other side will always have more time and energy to dedicare to this and other issues. It’s sad.. but speaking personally I can barely keep my head above water, when it comes to meeting my family and work obligations.

“Not all Foxhallers”

There are "good Foxhallers" just like there were "good Germans" under Hitler.

[Anonymous]

Or just like there were good Americans (I won’t use quotes) under Trump.

We don’t need to look so far. In America minority rule is all too common and even ingrained in the system unfortunately.

A loud energized minority regularly hinders progress across all aspects of American life.

Does it matter that their kids and many of the signers kids are at private schools - but yet try to limit the options for families in public schools. Or tell Public schools how they should be. Noting it’s not just Lab or Maret that get sweet financial deals from the city. sidwell, gds, others get various breaks and deals for those building land use and many other areas.

There are "good Foxhallers" just like there were "good Germans" under Hitler.

I also live in Foxhall Village. It does seem like a small group of people are trying to smear a neighborhood because they are angry that some people don't agree with them about building a school on a park. The bullying and namecalling is so Trumplike---does not recommend the hardy school people . Reasonable people can disagree

Who is PP?
Why doesn't DCPS tell people the new school's boundaries ?

By "namecalling", are you referring to the FCCA President's quote in the August 5th WaPost article?

Is that the guy who referred to those who supported the new school as “stay-at-home moms”? Does he still represent the community? What an embarrassment for them!

Unlike you he's willing to put his name out in public attached to what he believes in.
