[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I admit to not having read all 123 pages of this, but to help sum up the claims on this thread for newcomers. A handful of Hardy Middle School parents have said:

Maret is preventing black/brown kids from using the fields.
Maret is white, rich, elite.
Maret had too many AA parents, students and alums speaking at the hearing.
Maret has no AA kids on the baseball team because AA kids don't play baseball. (There were two who testified plus the coach.)
Maret has AA supporters but they are rich AA people and that's bad.
Maret denies use of the field similar to Iraqi children and the Holocaust.
Maret had an alum testify whose name is too similar to a friend of Kavanaugh from Georgetown Prep.
Maret doesn't have support for their contract.
Maret had too many people supporting them at the hearing.
Maret parents are like Trump and/or Trump supporters.
Maret parents are democrat insiders.
Maret conspired with DPC/Evans/Mayor to get field
DPC has no ability to make a decision without mayor's support.
Mayor knew about the contract and conspired to keep it below threshold
Mayor didn't know about the contract.
Council didn't know about the contract.
Evans has no power
Evans has too much power and knew about the contract
Washington Post coverage unfair because Maret has a current parent who was a Obama administration official and a former parent who works at ABC news that influenced the WP beat reporter.
Maret's frog mascot is racist to the oppressed French-American population.
Maret has hired a pr firm
Maret has no pr plan
Maret's pr plan is well organized and orchestrated
Maret's pr plan is worthless and not working
Maret has hired a secret firm to mine data to find out who is posting on DCUM
Maret alums and parents are secretly conspiring against Maret 
Maret alums and parents are reading off talking points and supporting Maret without any individual thought
Maret alums will not be hired because of this
Maret applications will plummet because of this
Maret does not accept enough applicants
Maret does not have enough money to purchase their own fields so they secretly conspired on this project
Maret has too much money [/quote]

This +1,000,000

The Anti Maret people are all like, “this is about the agreement, not Maret.” And then they start slinging handfuls of every mud imaginable to see if it sticks. It’s embarrassing for them, or at least it should be. They should at least sign their names to all their crazy because I’m sure they’d never say any of this out loud in front of others. [/quote]

I can’t speak for others (particularly the imaginary people to which imaginary positions above may be attributed), but I’d be very happy to participate in a conversation with the Maret leadership and community about their conduct. Please feel free to organize this. In the meantime, I’d recommend not complaining about people posting anonymously to a forum that exists for that express purpose. [/quote]
