David Blaska, going out of his way to provoke progressives in Madison WI to make America safe for democracy!

Jeff Simpson yells ‘racist’ in a crowded blog but can’t back it up; Part #5

[ UPDATE: DAY 2 — still no response from this race-baiter. ]

Jeff Simpson, I am calling you out. 

Jeff Simpson, you are an elected member of a school board (Monona Grove, what were you thinking?), and an active Democrat. You are a public figure.

Jeff Simpson, you accused me, David Blaska, of racism — now back it up. What have I written that qualifies as racist?

I reported that a 17-year-veteran teacher in the Madison Metropolitan School District quit the teaching profession in despair. She described the “positive behavior coach” being hospitalized after breaking up a student fight. She described that and more in a heartfelt on-line blog on June 11 titled “Closing the Door on the Madison Metropolitan School District.” 

“I am leaving this district, because I cannot serve the children I love in the current climate,” teacher Karen Vieth blogged.  

I have never seen a building as deeply in crisis as Sherman Middle School, yet my cries for help went unanswered for three years.  … Nobody seems to be steering the ship.

Over the weekend, this blog noted that four years ago President Barack Obama’s administration forced districts to set what amounts to illegal racial quotas in school discipline. Jeff Simpson responded with:

There is so much ignorance in dave’s post that he is doing all he can do … to chum the waters.” You also posted, “The incredible pretzel twist of flawed non logic, mixed with racism, ignorance and desperation to tap into the right wing echo chamber money is incredible to watch …

 ( Koch Brothers! Koch Brothers! They’re everywhere! )

Of what is the proprietor of Stately Blaska Manor ignorant, Jeff Simpson? What is illogical? I asked if you were throwing the race card at Ms. Vieth, the many teachers and parents who responded to her blog in support, and the 26 parents who wrote school district administrators concerned with the large number of vacancies at Sherman from fleeing teachers. You responded: 

Nope….not at all. I know Karen, great teacher. I am strictly accusing you of racism Dave. 

cry-racistI ask again, on what basis? Now the principal in question has quit, most likely under pressure from central administration. We hope she finds her level of competence. (The school board met Monday evening in closed session on a personnel matter. Brenda Konkel reports that, despite staff’s warning that they shouldn’t say what the issue is, new school board member Gloria Reyes still says that the meeting is about “personnel issues at Sherman middle school.”)

As for you, Jeff Simpson, Stately Manor reader Tom Paine has already challenged you: “Yo Jeff, we await your counter-case. Thus far you’ve only presented a tautological comment that in no way is compelling. Are you up to it?” You responded (if that is the right word):

My counter case will come this week on my blog … this weekend was too busy to write anything up.

For bad measure, to your list of unsubstantiated insults you added:

I forgot to add bipolar schizophrenic.

( So now, Blaska is not just racist but crazy, too.
Am I racist because I am crazy or crazy because I am racist? )

It is now Tuesday, we see nothing on your blog, Jeff Simpson. In any case, you played the race card here at Stately Blaska Manor. You were not too busy to make the accusation. It is here that you put up or shut up and get out. It is now that you do so.

Otherwise, you are a modern-day Joe McCarthy: make the charge; don’t bother proving it. Skedaddle on to the next wild accusation. (And you criticize Donald Trump!)

Blaska’s Bottom Line: I won’t ban you because you can’t resist digging your hole deeper and deeper. The public deserves to know what a disgrace you are, Jeff Simpson.

We excerpt this comment to Karen Vieth’s blog. “Rochelle” says:

Thank you Karen, you are a caring, brave and truthful person. I am a retired special ed teacher and administrator who worked in another state. My three grandchildren had wonderful experiences at MMSD, in the days before chaos ruled.

Two have graduated from university and are living out of state. The third is still in HS here in Madison. He is a sensitive and PC person, but is reporting that children talk on cell phones during class, shout across the room to each other, and if a teacher dares to ask them to desist, the teacher is cursed without any discernible consequence to the disruptive child.

I find it very troubling that by simply telling the truth about schools being chaotic we have to heap praise on Karen. Why is telling the truth a unique happening and so frought with peril? Fear apparently plays a big part. Fear of being called a racist. Fear of being labeled insensitive …

    Hiya Fred M. Allow me to translate poor richard lesniak, your wannabe soul evaluator.
    Kids in cages means;
    “Stormy Daniels is a dead horse and boy! is my arm tired.”
    “Do not look at your pay checks or 401k reports.”
    “Pay no attention to the Horowitz IG report on the DOJ putting the fix in for Hillary’s 22 felonies and stacking the prosecutorial deck against Trump. And the GAB lawfare against Scott Walker didn’t happen either.”
    “North Korea? Nothing good to see there.”

    NB, anytime the Left is crying for children, any children, it means they are out of bullets.

    PS, I remember your byline back in the days of journalism.

    ABOB: Germany ain’t El Salvador (thank God!) and my ancestors didn’t sneak across the border illegally with their kids in tow expecting to be taken care of by US taxpayers. And being addressed as “Herr” is far from an insult in my book.

      When your ancestors came they probably didn’t have to go thru a lengthy legal process to enter; they applied at the border on Ellis Island. “Herr” was not an insult, Oh Aggrieved Conservative, just a statement of the obvious.

    Hey I just saw this, Sorry my life doesnt revolve around reading your racist blog nor am I your monkey. The answer to why I said what I said is coming, but unlike this blog where you throw stupid shit against the wall and your lackeys who love affirmation lap it up…..on CogDIs we actually use facts and logic….so its coming.

    While that happens, I would highly recommend Tom Paine do some research on Thomas Paine and realize how he is completely misrepresenting who Thomas Paine was.

    Have a great day….dont play in the rain.

      My perception of your words is that you’re acting like a race baiting asshole, in other words acting like an ignorant troll but your actually slinging libelous accusations. Was that your intent all along Jeff Simpson, elected member of the Madison School Board?

      You called Dave a racist, you haven’t fabricated anything yet to backed up that accusation, and now you’ve called Dave’s blog racist. I’ve been hanging around here for awhile and I’ve never seen any evidence to support your claims of Dave or his blog being racist.

      So Mr. Simpson, since I disagree with your accusations do I get to bait you like an ignorant troll and freely call you a liar?

      Jeff, Just because you disagree with someone doesn’t make them a racist, just like me disagreeing with you on this topic doesn’t make you a liar.

      If you’d like to continue this discussion like real adults then provide your undeniable “proof” that Dave or his blog is racist or retract your libelous accusations. Until then…
