Tom Tiffany Should Put the Rock Back on Campus

David Blaska, Blaska Policy Werkes - August 28, 2026

Whaddaya think of this idea: A TV spot that will put Tom Tiffany over the top in November (pending midnight thumb drives in Milwaukee)! Spot opens with my man standing next to the Chamberlin Rock, more massive than the Deep State conspiracy.

“Hi, I’m Tom Tiffany. I promise you one thing: as your next governor, I won’t do stupid. Five years ago, our great state university removed this 42-ton boulder from its Madison campus.”

Camera pulls out to reveal the noble stone imprisoned behind a chain link fence at a storage site north of Stoughton.

“It had sat on Observatory Hill for 12,000 years — ever since a glacier deposited it there in the last ice age. Generations of geology students studied it.”

Archival video shows construction cranes removing the boulder from campus.

“Why was it removed? Because WOKE stupidity took over the university. A small group of student activists actually accused the rock of racism! An inanimate stone!”

Video of the rock being hauled away:

“While crews were banishing the supposedly racist rock, the campus czar of Woke activism:
• gave himself a $50,000 pay raise,
• treated his staff to conferences on the Hawaiian island of Maui,
• spent $18,000 on student massages, $4,000 for Crocs shoes, and $3,000 for beanie hats.”

Federal Investigation Puts MPS Discipline Failures Back Under Scrutiny

TrueNorthNews - August 21, 2026

Milwaukee Public Schools have recently come under investigation by the U.S. Department of Education over their discipline practices and their efficacy.

The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights opened an investigation into MPS this week over allegations that race may be considered when determining student discipline. Federal Officials have collected past statements from leaders in the MPS system describing race-neutral policies as supposedly reflecting systemic “whiteness.”

Following an earlier federal civil rights investigation, the district expanded programs including Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports, commonly known as PBIS. MPS describes restorative practices as an approach centered on building relationships, repairing harm and creating stronger school communities.

However, those lofty goals seem to have not come to fruition, as discipline numbers have barely fallen.

Minnesota Deserves Better!
