Marty Goldens Town Hall was held at the Kings Bay YM-YMHA on Nostrand was again packed with parents opposed to the Hebrew Language Academy Charter School (HLA). Unlike the Marine Park Civic Meeting, this town hall had John White from the Department of Education available to pitch the “proposal” to the community, then to take questions and address comments.
Golden, is behind the community 100% on this issue.
The meeting was rather long, if you stuck around to the end, but it was very productive for the parents to go back and forth with John White. It seemed like this would be good practice for the May 26th hearing.

Hey Folks, in case you haven’t figured it out, the fact is that Marine Park and the JHS are in a lot of trouble. This Hebrew charter school finding a home here is another sign that the call has been put out to a brand new demographic- “move here!” Not saying it hatefully, just stating a fact. And here’s another fact, it seems like battle lines are being drawn.
So what’s our community’s response – do we stay or go?
Don’t fall for the hype coming from our politicians like Weiner, Fidler, Maisel, Weinstein, Kruger, etc. All of their posturing and declarations against this school – do you actually think for one second that they didn’t know what has been going on for months now? DUH. Great planning. Better politicizing. Blame Bloomberg, go after Marty Golden, because it’s all pot shots at this point because the Democrats won’t be able to stop this school, but they will get a bunch of free shots in.
Win-Win, right fellas? Right out of the TJ Club playbook.
But I guess we deserve what we get if we keep voting for these mutts. Isn’t it time that we gave someone else our vote. They think they’re unbeatable because we let them think that way. It’s time to WAKE UP!
Think about it – what help have they been for Marine Park? Marine Park is DONE. the JHS is DONE. Now is the time to raise a little hell. It’s time for the silent majority to GET LOUD!
It’s time to go to this meeting on the 26th and say what you truly mean and to hell with political correctness? After all, everyone’s saying that it’s all a done deal, right? Might as well finally lay all cards on the table.
And this meeting can’t be the end of it. We need to STAND UP! THIS IS AN ELECTION YEAR! Vote against the Mayor, vote against our local “leaders” who have nothing better to do than play these political games for THEIR OWN BENEFIT.
It’s time to say that the community does not want this ethnic charter school here. Go find somewhere else. We have lived and worked to make Marine Park and all of our neighborhoods great. Marine Park is a premium neighborhood with great local schools. And what do you get for all of that hard work? We’re told that our votes and tax dollars don’t count – or at least don’t count as much as some other people – and that our neighborhood is UP FOR SALE. Tell all of our politicians… YES ALL OF THEM… that we are not going to go away and will keep fighting until the community is heard and this school is out.
Politicians are playing games with our children, our homes. We cannot let our values be compromised for the sake of these sleazy politicians and their supporters. Show them that we know what they’re doing and it stinks. They knew exactly what was happening to this school and they LET IT HAPPEN – but we’re supposed to believe their outrage after the fact. BULL. I know better. YOU know better.
Get mad, people. Now is the time.
