Tots at luxury NYC school locked out of community garden: ‘Not like they’re going in there and smoking weed’

Local Students Speak Out Against Perceived Favoritism in Community Leadership. A group of students from a local school is expressing outrage and disappointment after feeling marginalized and ignored by community leaders, including the influential Greenthumb organization. According to the students, they have been treated as second-class citizens, with their concerns and needs consistently disregarded. The complaint has sparked debate about the fairness and inclusivity of community decision-making processes, and whether certain groups are receiving preferential treatment. As the students demand greater representation and respect, their voices are shining a light on the complex dynamics at play in the community.

"We thought we were members of this community, but the way that the leadership, as well as Greenthumb, has acted and ignored us has really made it clear that our school (and other schools) are second-class citizens."
