[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You Maret people are all over the place.  “Marion Barry was racist!” “DC teachers have a union and drive cars!”  “Duke Ellington non-DC students too!”

None of that makes your hoarding of public assets less true or less wrong.[/quote]

The Maret extension on Jelleff can be fairly criticized and debated.  But it’s absurd to call Maret parents racists and villains when DC was electing an infamous racist again and again to public office and the public school staff and community are not so selfless and virtuous.

Just because some people were racist doesn’t mean others aren’t too.

Nonetheless, I don’t think Maret is racist.  But they are extraordinarily elitist and entitled and have zero self-awareness of it.[/quote]

+1. The Maret boosters don’t have a legitimate way to defend their behavior so they’re just trying to throw blame at others for everything that has ever gone badly in DC (ex: we Maret parents are misusing DC taxpayer funded resources, but others are misusing far more.) it’s sad.  It’s also unfortunate that Jeff has banned posts about the Maret use of fields in the private school board because Maret parents probably wouldn’t be as willing to make such nonsensical uninformed posts on a Board with their peers.[/quote]
