DeLaSalle and Non-Discrimination? DeLaSalle and Non-Discrimination? What? Is DeLaSalle discriminatory? This time you've gone too far. You have crossed the line. This sort of sneaky ploy makes me sick. You want integrity in government? Then play fair. Don't use red herring arguments. Don't attempt to smear DeLaSalle in your by any means necessary fight against this playing field and the park board. DeLaSalle does not discriminate. DeLaSalle supports including any non-discrimination requirement in the reciprocal use agreement. I was at the meeting last night. John Erwin brought up 3 amendments to the CAC playing field design motion: non-discrimination, more landscaping, and alternative parking. Since the motion was about design, most commissioners asked why he was bringing up non-discrimination at that time. Bob Fine asked how it differed from statutes already governing city and park properties. John didn't have anything in writing and didn't offer any explanation other than he wouldn't support the project without it. So Bob didn't accept the amendment as friendly so the board could consider it separately. That's all that happened. Everyone, including Bob Fine, was in favor of it. There was never an opportunity for anyone from DeLaSalle to comment one way or the other. Then come this morning I read Britt Robson's article written more than an hour before the park meeting even started last night. It included exact language from the Ft. Snelling skate park agreement that was not brought up last night. And he asks "Will Non-Discrimination Clause Trip Up DeLaSalle Stadium Efforts?" Darn, it didn't. Too bad. Your plot was foiled. How dare you call yourselves reformers when you play these deceptive and manipulative games? Knock it off. You're not fooling anybody. This is a school. Trying to educate children. Examine your consciences and stop these sleazy and underhanded methods of promoting integrity. Nikki Carlson Linden Hills DeLaSalle mom REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
