Ghost of Kenosha Future!

By Jeff Simpson

We have let you know that the Koch Brothers are trying desperately to buy the Kenosha School Board.

Don't believe me?  Kenosha is not unique....check out this video!



Kenosha this will be you if you do not show up and tell them NO!

  1. How about a quick summary. 11 minute videos are time prohibitive, at least for me.

  2. Basically what they did as soon as they took over the school, the resegregated them, The koch candidates just read off a script and never strayed from it or had their own thoughts.

  3. " ... just read off a script and never strayed from it or had their own thoughts."

    Sort of like Jeff Simpson and the teachers union.

  4. Dave, do you have any examples or evidence to back that up?

    1. "Do I have any evidence that you are a toady for the teachers union?" Only the entire body of your work, only the fact that your missus is a member of the Madison Teachers Union, only that you have never criticized the teachers union for blocking the Urban League's charter school, only that you disparage all school choice, including public school charters, only that you're a blue fister, only that you're obsessed to the point of paranoia by the Koch Brothers ...

      Now, where is YOUR evidence that the candidates for Kenosha school board never had an original thought?

    2. My entire body of work? Are you referring to the blog or my work on the School Board?

      I will gladly take credit for being part of the Monona Grove School Board, I would say we are one of the stronger districts in WI and I am proud to be part of it. That could be the best "criticism" i have ever had!

      AS for school choice, I am all for it. We benefit from it greatly as we are the district that gets the most kids who opt to open enroll(school choice) out of Madison and into our district! I believe we have had school choice since the late 80's but i could be off by a couple years.

      I was proud of MTI for helping ward of Madison Prep what an incredible disaster that would have been! kudos to them I am sad though that Marge is retiring!

      I dont have evidence that they dont have original thoughts, although bringing miss bickie in as a fundraiser sure is not a very intelligent move.

      However I DO have plenty of evidence that when you are bought and sold by the koch brothers you do not have an original thought. I watch our legislature often. Seriously though watching Leah vukmir speak on the testimony of SB619 and one would think the Zombie apocalypse has already started!

  5. Excellent video. I thought Wisconsin was GROUND ZERO for the dismantling of public education. This video shows that the KOCH brothers are a cancer on all of America in their relentless push to destroy public education.

    Their work to escalate the HATRED towards all public educators in Wisconsin (as evidenced many times by the writings of disciple David Blaska) was just part of their greater strategy to ruin public education in Wisconsin, then eventually every state in America.

    Every public educator in America should see this video so that they understand how well funded these enemies of public education are and just who is funding the millions of dollars in advertising designed to escalate the HATRED of teachers in Wisconsin and across America.

    Thank you Jeff for spreading the word about the Koch agenda. Thank you for your post.

    1. As for "destroying public education," don't give the Koch Brothers all the credit. The Milwaukee Teachers Union has been at it a lot longer.

    2. Hey David, check your mailbox. Should be time for another lavish pension check from the taxpayers of Wisconsin. You know, the same people you spend your retirement working to destroy the education of their children as you serve the interests of the Koch brothers' destruction of public education in Wisconsin.

    3. Again, (deservedly) Anonymous, the Milwaukee Teachers Union has been destroying education long before I began working for the third (and most mysterious) Koch Brother, Alec.

    5. This is Marc Eisen, former editor of Madison's liberal Isthmus weekly, writing in 2010 (pre-Walker):

      "Too bad a ball-peen hammer wasn’t handy. If so, leaders of the embattled Milwaukee Teachers’ Education Association might have walloped themselves over the head. Instead, they did something even more self-destructive, suing Milwaukee Public Schools for Viagra coverage of its members.

      "Union president Mike Langyel gamely defends the suit, saying Viagra is used to treat a bona fide medical problem. But even liberal supporters winced at the timing.

      "Here was a financially strapped school system struggling with an anticipated layoff of almost 500 teachers, and the clueless union was demanding insurance coverage of a sexual aid that could cost taxpayers more than $700,000 a year."

    7. What did I say? Not an original thought outside the approved canon of the Teachers Union! "So now you know more than the doctors!" Nurse, administer the Viagra! STAT!

    8. You seem to be fixated on the whole Viagra thing. Kind of like it's a personal issue for you. Maybe that explains a lot of your behavior.

      Delete
    9. Viagra actually is used to treat severe pulmonary hypertension among other non sexual uses.

    10. Seems to me if a Dr. Prescribes it he/she does so for a reason. Any other treatements you are against in your infinite medical wisdom?

    11. The voters of Kenosha prescribed their treatment Tuesday.
