Oppose Cobble Hill co-location

To the Editor:

A lot of residents in Cobble Hill do not like the idea of Eva Moskowitz’s Success Academy being shoved down our throats.

Moskowitz can learn a thing or two from the operators of Brooklyn Prospect. When faced with community opposition to their temporary location on Hicks Street, they found an alternative. They also went out and secured a private location for their grade 7-12 school in an industrial building on 3rd Avenue in Gowanus.

Perhaps if Moskowitz found her own space instead of using her DOE connections to obtain a co-location, she might be accepted into the Cobble Hill/Carroll Gardens/Boerum Hill community.

We welcome school choice, but don’t shove it down our throats like you deserve this more than someone else.
