[quote=Anonymous]On Friday (20th) evening, the head of the “Save Hardy Park” campaign will be hosting a meet and greet for Goulet. The Save Hardy Park campaign is closely intertwined with the Foxhall Community Citizens Association, who have done and said some interesting things over the years with respect to proposals to open public schools in their neighborhood. While supporting the expansion of private (and predominantly white) schools, the Association opposed - and arguably thwarted via securing a historic designation - a proposal to repurpose a city-owned building in their neighborhood currently occupied by a private school to create a new public elementary school. Their current President, Bob Avery, went on record at the ANC as saying that the use of that building as a public school would not be good for the neighborhood. When the lease on that building was renewed and the city proposed instead to build a new school nearby, the Association then gave rise to the deceptive “Save Hardy Park” campaign which has attempted to whip up opposition with specious claims about the loss of park space, parking, traffic and so on. Anyone is free to attend Goulet’s meet and greet with these folks. The discussion, we can imagine, should be quite illuminating.[/quote]
