This is sacrosanct ground for Hearst school which is a jewel which belongs to all of the diverse peoples of the a District of Columbia, not your white enclave in Ward 3.[/quote]

1. Thanks for injecting race into this issue - (we were really missing that element in the civil discussion)

2. No part of Hearst should be eliminated from planning. Every sign on the playground says DPR on it so it is up for grabs in a discussion about the park's future.

3. Planners at last weekend's meeting enthusiastically included broadening the scope of the plan to include the current playground in lists of future considerations.

4. No DPR grounds are sacrosanct - don't ask people to cut down historic trees, accept major construction projects, turf over green space with plastic carpets and declare a playground on the same property as "sacrosanct."

Both Hearst playgrounds could use a serious facelift.  But, to think they would touch a $1M+ plus turf soccer field that is only 2 years old is unlikely, even by DC standards of waste and fraud.[/quote]
