Gwen Haney's Cookie Defense or How to Disenfranchise Youth in Silver Spring
Gwen Haney, manager of the Civic Building, claimed that skaters were denied access to Tuesday's taping of Kojo in Your Community in the Silver Spring Civic Building because they took too many cookies and they behaved badly. That's not just a lie -- it's a damned lie.
If some skaters took too many cookies, I don't know and don't care.
The fact is a large group of skaters was stopped at the door and told they could not enter. How do you behave badly in a building you can't go in?
The security guard told me repeatedly that the building manager said to not let the skaters in. She said it as if to apologize for denying them entry, saying again and again that I shouldn't get mad at her because she was only doing what she was told to do.
And what she was told to do, was to not let skaters in.
