[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your post is inaccurate and unnecessarily polarizing. Many speakers clearly made the point that the neighborhood values the green space at Hardy Park and they want to preserve it. Why is that so wrong to want to preserve green space in a city and ask questions about other site selection options? And they don't trust DCPS to build out the property in a manner that properly preserves whatever remains of the park. After the Christmas Eve giveaway of the Old Hardy School we should all be skeptical of DC gov/DCPS intentions. [/quote]

But we shouldn’t be skeptical of the intentions of members of a neighborhood association that did everything in its power to ensure that the public building on the site wasn’t given back to DCPS but rather remained in the hands of an expensive private school (and, by the Deputy Mayor’s own assessment, whose actions were instrumental in ensuring it remained off-limits to DCPS) yet who now claim they “support public education” but just don’t want a school in their backyard because they’ve managed to formulate some apocalyptic scenario about how it will upend lives they’ve never lived??? Please . . .[/quote]
