Former Madison mayor Dave Cieslewicz writes:
“Yeah, he’s a lot more conservative than I am, but that does not change the simple fact that what he’s saying about school safety is true. He wants to make the basic safety of students and staff a priority. He would return the SRO’s and get rid of the wrong-headed Behavioral Education Plan, which discourages staff from calling the police even when there’s physical violence. These things are just common sense.”

The CPAC organization has now come out and openly castigated those turncoats who have betrayed America and the true Republicans. Judas who betrayed our Lord was a CINO.

I was already going to write in DB even before he officially declared his candidacy.
Cieslewicz’s announcement is just further proof of how bad it if in Madison.
And just watch, because it’s going to get much worse.

Mayor Dave: too little too late, IMO. He’s pushing back against the Regressives sensing the writing on the wall about the mid-terms.

You mean OTHER than they’ll be powered with EVIL coal-generated electricity AND no one will be riding them?

Pretty sure the EV buses still have issues with cold temps and hills. I sure hope Madison Metro has the good sense to test them in extreme hot and cold conditions.

A helpful suggestion: To avoid cognitive dissonance, try not to use “Madison” and “good sense” in the same sentence.

Maybe the buses will be like the electric( actually hybrid ) fire (pumper ) truck they have. I’ve heard its driving range is 27 miles and pumping time is 3 minutes. Good thing it has the 350 horsepower diesel engine as backup.I wonder what their run time is. Maybe the buses will come with extension cords just in case.

Mary Hudson: Public Education’s Dirty Secret
“Bad teaching is a common explanation given for the disastrously inadequate public education received by America’s most vulnerable populations. THIS IS A MYTH. (bolds/caps/italics mine)
“High school diplomas were […] handed out to countless 12th graders with, from my observation, a 7th grade education. ”
Much of this is from ~20 years ago, the most recent examples in this article are 10-12 years + old; has it gotten better, stayed the same, or gotten worse?

“In the last hundred years, we’ve gone from teaching Greek and Latin in high schools to teaching remedial English in college.” My public high school in a small town in northern Wi offered Latin back in the ’60s when I was a student. It also required teachers to have a Master’s degree in their subject area. On graduation, I entered UW-Madison and found myself well prepared for the rigors of college work despite my utter ignorance of CRT. Those were the days, my friend ….

BREAKING NEWS: MULDROW ENDORSES BLASKA !
Excerpt from her email sent this morning:
“… and oh who the hell am I kidding, the schools are getting worse not better. And the damn meetings! The only reason I get through them is I got my shows on. Never heard so much blah blah blah in my whole life. Ain’t gonna do it no more. That is why I am asking all you all to write in DAVID BLASKA for seat 4. For the love of God put me out of my misery! ”
This could be a game changer.
