Maspeth High School Not Shovel Ready Yet

Hold the bulldozers, shovels and cranes - the new Maspeth high school won't be built just yet.

went to the city council meeting in manhattan and i have to say that councilman barron is so rude to our community calling us racist. he walks in and states what are we back in time because he saw a bunch of white folks opposing the school. well sir your the one stuck in the 70's and your no longer with the panthers, so don't assume all white folks are a bunch of racist. i would think change starts at home. we don't want a school due to we are flooded in our community now with the two public schools, and lets not forget we have catholic and a lutheran h.s... we don't have enough mta buses to bring more children in. we don't have enough parking spots for over 300 more cars. sca lies to everyone and they really need to build a school that is accessible to buses and trains for everyone.

Honestly, why do we need a public H.S.? I had to go outside of Maspeth when I went to school. Why can't every one else? I believe that it's a great experience to get out of your neighborhood to explore others around you.
