As a no-confidence vote against Woke school board!
I’ll be voting against both [the $507 million building referendum] and the $100 million operating referendum, which will also be on the ballot. The district is losing market share because it is badly managed. Test scores are some of the worst in the state, absenteeism remains high, and the racial achievement gap hasn’t improved.
Parents are voting with their kids and taking them out of the district. And it’s not because the buildings aren’t nice enough. It’s because this school board obsesses over solving all of society’s problems rather than focusing on teaching kids how to read, write, do math, and behave in a way that respects their teachers and peers. If you want to do something to solve stubborn problems of racism in our society the best way to do that is with high-achieving Black students. — former mayor Dave Cieslewicz
Blaska’s Bottom Line: Dave C. says voting NO is actually the progressive thing to do! Now if we could just find someone more electable than Blaska to run for school board next Spring.

We need several more folks more electable than Blaska. But who is going to go door to door and bitch slap Madison voters to unwoke them??
Cheesewizz is a forgotten persona in the Madistan new wokeness. His history and relevance has been stricken from the record. Even Soggy Pants has been erased. Might as well be pissing in da wind Blaska. This will pass with 69% approval from the collective. Dyke is a spinning in his grave. Welcome to the “New Collective”!
Nope. Much more remembered than than whoever you are. Apparently YOU do too….
Look, Dave C’s girl Kamala has vowed to go after the evil price gougers. I say kill 2 birds with 1 stone and make Phil Woodman and Tim Metcalfe pay for the school improvements!
My wife and I are definitely voting no to both MMSD referendums and to the operating referendum in Fitchburg. The idiocy going on with MMSD and the city of Madison are mind blowing, but the voting public keeps voting in these clowns. We will volunteer to put up signs in our yard!
I wonder what Vegas is giving for odds that all 3 pass.
Despite that she’s moved on to polluting impressionable Hahvahd minds, the Jenny Cheat’em (sic) From The (Cell) Block repercussions will resonate for decades; folks are voting with their feet. From an Isthmus comment thread:
“Student net transfers out of district in (Jennifer) Cheatham’s (~ 6 year) term, 4400 students. In the 15 years previous, 3400 students!!!”
It gets worse.
And what do those students/parents/families Take With Them?
And worse yet.
Another BIG story from last Tuesday’s area Spring 2019 elections?
12 school districts in South Central Wisconsin asked voters to approve referenda on the ballots. In total, school officials asked voters to approve nearly $486 million.
$486 million? Mercy me; that’s nearly half a Billion…WITH A “B”, am I right?
Anywho, funniest thing; none of that was earmarked for The 77 Square Miles Surrounded By A Sea Of Reality.
Sun Prairie ($171 M), DeForest ($125 M) Milton ($60 M) in school building referenda approved. Other municipalities within driving distance of Madison (Albany, Baraboo, Columbus, Cross Plains, Verona, etc.) are likewise preparing to be the recipient of a giant sucking sound…skeedaddling from the erstwhile Emerald City.
Fat $chool referenda for districts within driving distance of Madison? Probably nothing to it…right?

Is this any different?
