Comments on: Marty Golden Town Hall Meeting Roundup: All About HLA http://www.MarineParker.net/2009/05/22/marty-golden-town-hall-meeting-roundup-all-about-hla/ Dedicated to Marine Park Brooklyn Wed, 01 Sep 2010 17:47:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: LQuinlan http://www.MarineParker.net/2009/05/22/marty-golden-town-hall-meeting-roundup-all-about-hla/comment-page-1/#comment-594 LQuinlan Sat, 23 May 2009 02:56:29 +0000 http://www.MarineParker.net/?p=116#comment-594 Thanks so much for posting this. I was at the other meeting held that evening and there were few answers to be had there. It seems to me that John White had one answer for just about everything: The parents of the 300 kids who applied to this charter school are entitled to have a choice and the parents of the children who go there are not. He elaborates on this theme by making it sound as if someone had actually requested this choice, rather than it being a long-term goal of Michael Steinhardt's. If I show up on May 26 with a petition of 500 names requesting an Italian language school will I then be automatically entitled to it? This administration is incredilbly arrogant and I hope you all remember this on election day. Thanks so much for posting this.
