[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Noone in the community is "scared of public school children". Infact everyone in the community supports public school education. What they dont support is building a school on top a neighborhood park - that is used by many -both within and outside the community. There is an existing school on the property already and another public school one block away. It is unfair to burden a single neighborhood with 3 schools in a 2 block radius. 
Hence once again- NOONE is against public schools; the community is against building a school on parkland with no traffic impact study. Hope that provides some clarification![/quote]

I don't live in Foxhall but I've been to FCCA meetings. I've seen the way they treat anyone who doesn't live in the immediate neighborhood: rudely. I went to some of the public meetings for the Hardy Rec Center and saw how immediate neighbors of the park wanted it to be treated as their own personal preserve. And I saw how people who disagreed with them, who wanted broader public use, were treated: shouted down, shut out and bullied.

I attended just about all of the meetings of the Community Working Group and the local public meetings, and I saw how the FCCA representatives behaved: like uniformed, entitled asses. Trying to disrupt the proceedings and acting like entitled, angry people who expected to get their way because they were angry and entitled. I've seen the deliberate misinformation that has been spread.

So don't come around here with your piousness. [/quote]
