Letter to the Editor: Daily News
To the Editor:
When Julia Richman parents met with DOE officials, they insisted the
new proposed building would be designed just as we wanted. Now Mr.
Smarr states (Erin Einhorn, "Hands off our School!") that the new
building will have 2,300 hundred students, a substantial increase from
what it is now. Who made that decision? Not the JREC community. And
who's this developer Mr. Smarr says will be responsible for the new
building? Certainly not someone whose concern will be the JREC
community. Could it be more obvious that this is about a real estate
deal, and not about educating our children?
Rooted in the community, the Julia Richman complex successfully serves
children from every racial and economic background. The city should
celebrate these schools, rather than once again showing its disregard
for low-income and families of color. Shame on those pushing this
unethical and discriminatory proposal. We are not moving.
