New York City private school spars with alumnus over expansion

From The New York Times: St. David's School, a private preK-8 institution in New York City, is engaging in a legal battle with the son of school's former headmaster. Ben Hume lives in an apartment in a building adjoining St. David’s that the school has owned since 1972. The school announced this year that it would take over the entire building and work with tenants to help them find new homes. That has led to Hume’s daily picketing — and now, a defamation lawsuit filed by St. David’s to stop what it described as Hume’s “deliberate campaign of harassment and intimidation.”
