But I come from a background that I strongly suspect many of my fellow Madisonians know very well.
When confronting an issue that demands to be resolved the coalition of people in support of it may not be the same as the group opposed or in support of another issue tomorrow. But we are adults and know the greater good is what matters. We unite to solve a problem. And folks, we have a very real problem with violence and truly unruly and even dangerous students in our schools.
I suggest parents of students and those who truly yearn for our schools to better perform listen to the words of David Blaska. And then write his name in for Seat 4 on the Madison School Board. The election is April 5th.

Delve into our
Wisconsin pioneer history!
Sudeten German Weekend
Saturday-Sunday, September 24 & 25, 2022
the Island Church Foundation, Inc. will hold a Sudeten German Weekend which will provide an in-depth look at the history of a people that migrated twice, first from Germany to Bohemia, and then to Wisconsin. Key settlement areas of these Sudeten German were Jefferson, Dodge and Dane counties, Wisconsin.
The Sudeten German Weekend will focus on the earliest settlement area, which is in the Town of Waterloo, Jefferson County, Wisconsin. You will learn how poor Germans from Northeast Bohemia in the modern-day Czech Republic traveled thousands of miles from their long-time homes to the New World and settled on marginal farmland. You will tour two original pioneer structures, St. Wenceslaus Church (the so-called “Island Church”) and the log home of Vincent Faultersack.

‘Roe v. Wade was on a collision course with the Constitution from the day it was decided.’
Excerpts from Justice Alito’s draft decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
Roe found that the Constitution implicitly conferred a right to obtain an abortion, but it failed to ground its decision in text, history, or precedent.
It relied on an erroneous historical narrative; it devoted great attention to and presumably relied on matters that have no bearing on the ‘meaning of the Constitution; it disregarded the fundamental difference between the precedents on which it relied and the question before the Court; it concocted an elaborate set of rules, with different restrictions for each trimester of pregnancy, but it did not explain how this veritable code could be teased out of anything in the Constitution, the history of abortion laws, prior precedent, or any other cited source; and its most important rule (that States cannot protect fetal life prior to “viability”) was never raised by any party and has never been plausibly explained.
Overuling precedent
Some of our most important constitutional decisions have overruled prior precedents. … In Brown. v. Board of Education, the Court repudiated the “separate but equal” doctrine, which had allowed States to maintain racially segregated schools and other facilities. In so doing, the Court overruled the infamous decision in Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U. S. 537 (1896), along with six other Supreme Court precedents that had applied the separate-but-equal rule.
Roe legislated from the bench
[Roe’s] elaborate [trimester] scheme was the Court’s own brainchild. Neither party advocated the trimester framework; nor did either party or any amicus argue that “viability” should ‘mark the point at which the scope of the abortion right and a State’s regulatory authority should be substantially transformed. … This scheme resemble[d] the work of a legislature. …
Roe certainly did not succeed in ending division on the issue of abortion. On the contrary, Roe “inflamed” a national issue that has remained bitterly divisive for the past half-century. … Indeed, in this case, 26 states expressly ask us to overrule Roe and Casey and return the issue of abortion to the people and their elected representatives.

Honestly don’t know. You’re in the city but school district doesn’t completely cover the city but does take in parts that aren’t in the city (like portions of Fitchburg).Enter your address here:

If Dave wins a seat on the Madison school board on a write-in vote, it will shake the local liberal elites to the core like nothing since Trump’s win in 2016. Yet another reason to get out and vote. Plus. it will mean that future school board meetings will be more than a forum for endless virtue-signaling and rubber-stamping of idiotic “equity” programs that endanger lives and retard actual education.

“David Blaska’s solutions” (2/11/22) needs to be his Manifesto For Sanity.
Make schools truly a “safe space”, free from threats and disruption, and indoctrination. Teachers should instruct and test their students, not conduct social experiments on them.
Critical Race Theory?,
Try #RadicalReplaceTheory, because we are #LiberalDisgraceWeary.

Under 30% of Madison registered voters bothered to get off of their butts and vote last April and look where we are. Get off of your butts and vote for common sense.

I did, but the machine was broke, so they slid my ballot below the machine that counts your vote. So, what happened to my ballot after I left the building? Probably same as the thousands they collected illegally in city parks, depending on who was sitting in the park, a righty or a lefty. We will never know of course. They probably did not require an I’d for that table warming either.

Folks what it all comes down to is this: Do we want to continue to raise imbeciles and idiots who think that the only road open to them is a life of crime? This goes for white, black, brown students, boys and girls.
We will be the ones paying the price for these uneducated morons who cannot read, write or do math at grade level but will be well schooled in CRT and other social justice movements.
What will we as a community do when these kids grow up to not be able to support themselves by legal means?
Vote for Dave! Write him in!

I’ve heard you on Vicki McKenna’s show in the past. How about working something out with her for a weekly appearance every week up until election day. I may be late to the game and Vicki’s already suggested that. You may want to check your phone, internet, tv, car, motorcycle, walls of your house and anything else that can be bugged, tapped or broken into for signs of interference/tampering by those organizations in Madison that worked so hard to silence you in the past. Seriously there are some scary people out there. 😉
