Wolfman is back in action. He was protesting today in front of the Unified Offices.
Denise Lockwood from the Caledonia Patch reports. Wayne Clingman and a man that goes by “wolf man” because he’s wearing a wolf mask protest in front of the Racine Unified School District Monday. They are disappointed with the outcome of the re-election of incumbents and the performance of the District.
A grassroots rally starts with a few seeds.
And the rally this morning by Citizens United For Personal Responsibility and Government Accountability included two men, Wayne Clingman and a man wearing a mask, who wanted to be called “Wolf man.”
The two wanted to express their disappointment that Racine Unified School Board incumbents, Kim Plache, Gretchen Warner and Don Nielsen were re-elected because of their allegiance to the teachers’ union. More specifically they were frustrated with the influence of the teachers’ unions on the election.
The two men also want others to “recognize they (the School Board members) are incompetent at best and have failed to properly educate children,” Clingman said. “…If I were working in a factory and 50 percent of the widgets I made were defective, I’d be fired.”
Comments from administrator with the Racine Unified School District could not be obtained because the offices were closed.

I agree and am confused. I wonder why people complain about the system then go out and vote for the same people that ran the system into the ground. Do people like beating their collective heads against the wall then asking why it hurts?
I receieved several mailers and phone calls from this group of board members in the time running up to the election. Did name recognition win this? Where did all this money come from? This stuff isn’t free.

IT IS ALL ABOUT TAXES, TAXES, TAXES!!!
We all currently have a taxed interest to educate the public school children whether we want the taxes or not. Discussions are necessary to find solutions for problem we have in our public school systems. Let’s keep the discussions productive.
Many parents have failed to teach their children the values of honesty, respect, integrity, education…….….the list goes on and on. Many teachers do not discipline these unencouragable students for fear of legal actions against them, or worse yet, fear of being beaten by the students. These inmates (students) are running our asylums, and the adults are blaming each other for the failures of our public school children to be educated. Many children in public schools have learned to manipulate educated adults. WTF.
We have full time police and sheriff deputies at several of the schools because parents , administrators, legislators and teachers have all failed to agree on a course of ACTION to demand that the children act in accordance with rules and regulations of codes of conduct. For many children, it is not unusual to test the limits, engage in a few pranks, or to be a little naughty, which is quite normal behavior of kids, this is how they learn the limits and most importantly, learn the consequences for their actions. We have a broken public school system because the adults have failed to UNITE to demand a disciplined atmosphere with appropriate sanctions for the degree of misconduct. Without discipline there is chaos. This isn’t rocket science folks, as adults we must demand respect and adherence to rules of conduct, and when those rules are broken, there must be appropriately measured penalties of punishment administered. Societies cannot function and prosper without organization and structure, schools are no different. The needs of the few do not outweigh the needs of the many. The public school system cannot continue to mainstream every child. No child left behind is a great goal, but in reality it doesn’t work.
KIDS COST A LOT OF MONEY:
COST CAUSERS SHOULD BE THE COST BEARERS:
A fundamental concept of taxes should be the citizens who use, benefit, or create the need for governmental services should bear the cost of those services.
As a parent, selfishness, ignorance, drugs, alcohol or self indulgence is no excuse for the failure to properly raise your own child. True love and pride of the child bears no financial cost. HOWEVER, FOOD, CLOTHING, MEDICAL CARE, SCHOOLS, TOYS ect….…………ALL COST BIG MONEY, Parenting also requires an investment of a considerable amount of a parents time in the child’s welfare, this is the parents primary duty, so parenting starts and finishes at home.
THINK BEFORE ONE DINKS:
The public didn’t enjoy the moments of copulation to produce another public child, so don’t ask the public to bear the burden of loveful or lustful acts of raising another’s child.
It may take a community to raise a socially well adjusted child, but parents must be held accountable and responsible with the raising of their own children.
This sad state of affairs in our public school systems reminds me of a phrase I used over 40 years ago.
” Children, do you know where your parents are?”
