Whether people employed by the social justice industry are litigious by nature or they just identify as chronic victims, we don’t know. Probably a case of being both a breath mint and a floor wax. But Norman Davis, the director of the City of Madison Department of Civil Rights, twists slowly in the wind after 10 unnamed (aren’t they always) of his employees accused the black man of misconduct, discrimination, and harassment. And the obligatory “hostile work environment.” 37 total pages of righteous bitching! Taxpayers will pay outside pathologists $30,000 to sort out the recriminations at the Madison Department of Civil Rights. In the meantime, the reality is that director Davis is guilty until proven innocent. That’s how Woke works. The real outrage is that Madison’s Civil Rights Department costs taxpayers $2.67 million and employs not just 10 but 21 worker bees.
Madison’s former “equity coordinator for the Racial Equity and Social Justice Initiative” ordered all department heads, elected officials, agency budget contacts, and mayoral staff to attend Racial Equity and Social Justice training. Time to get your mind right, like the captain would say in Cool Hand Luke. |  |
If we had to guess which government bureau would throw the dung of discrimination complaints at each other, it would be the government bureaucracy charged with ferreting out discrimination. It’s everywhere! Civil rights bureaucrats put the coke into Woke. The magic ingredient is listed in its mission statement: “racial equity.” Not equal rights or equal opportunity but “equity” — aka, equality of results. Madison also enforces “social justice” and “environmental justice.” All defined according to the stink eye of the beholder.
How Stephen Ratzlaff became a Candidate and had Success in Dane County

Last summer, I was at a McDonald's on the corner of Century Avenue and Allen Boulevard in Middleton. While downing a Quarter-Pounder with Cheese, I noticed a tall fellow with a Reagan T-shirt in line to order. I yelled "Nice T-shirt!" to him.
The man turned around and it was none other than my old friend Stephen Ratzlaff who I had not seen in many years! We had worked together 25 years ago at American TV. We started talking and soon he indicated a desire to run for office. |  |
