Political Activities of Green Hedges School: Not Good

After some records "digging", the Green Hedges School connection to the Windover Heights Historic District has sharpened considerably. Why is that? In 1985, after the Town allowed an office building to be built in the Historic District without any review, a homeowner sought to be removed from the District due to the sheer corruption of the episode. Green Hedges School (415 Windover Avenue, NW, Vienna, VA 22180) inexplicably lobbied against this request for removal. At the time the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Green Hedges School, a Mrs. Macauley, sent a nonsensical letter in opposition. Macauley showed no understanding of the concept of property rights in her letter and seemed to revel in "messing" with others. Additionally, Kenton and Frances Kilmer, both of Green Hedges School, chimed in via letter to argue that the District "protected" houses in the Historic District. We wonder if Green Hedges believes such nonsense now? Where was Green Hedges School when this house in the District was bulldozed in 2006? Is this Green Hedges School style historic protection?
