"A complaint involving Racine Unified Superintendent Lolli Haws is under investigation by the Kenosha County Human Services Department’s Division of Children and Family Services.
"The complaint possibly involves a child or children at Knapp Elementary, but authorities with the school district and Kenosha won’t give out any additional details, according to a story in The Journal Times.
“'I can’t provide any comment because this is an open investigation,' RUSD spokesperson Stacy Tapp said.
"The RUSD Board of Education met in closed session Friday to discuss a “personnel matter.” Board President Dennis Wiser released this statement, which he said was crafted during the meeting:
“'At this time, we are unable to provide any further information regarding a pending investigation related to Superintendent Haws. Please know that we will ensure that a full and fair investigation is completed and that the best interest of all Racine Unified students is our first priority.'
"Teachers union President Jennifer Levie wouldn’t confirm for the newspaper when the incident may have occurred or what is alleged to have happened."

I've heard plenty. Rumors are bouncing all over the place... but I won't spread more. It will be very costly if they prove to be true.
ReplyDeleteThere is indeed a *WAR* going on in the comments section of The JT.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, here in Mt. Pleasant, looks like our Village Administrator doesn't come off very well in his pleadings and asking for a dismissal, with a tacit admission of wrongdoing, yet denying it rose to the level of Racketeering.
Is Mt. Pleasant Racist Lite?
At best, the allegations against Wahlen indicate that Wahlen engaged in racially motivated actions (though that, too, is tenuous). (See Compl., ¶¶21, 121, 124-25). However, such actions cannot constitute predicate acts under RICO. See, e.g., Jennings, 910 F.2d at 1438 (holding that violations of “civil rights and constitutional law” are not predicate acts under RICO); (see also supra, at Section II.A.1, collecting case law indicating that Liquor License Acts are not predicate acts). And, even if these were predicate acts, there is no plausible scenario in which these actions, which occurred, at most, over six months, allege a “pattern of racketeering” against Whalen. (See supra, at Section II.B.1, collecting case law indicating that the commission of a few predicate acts committed within a short period of time is not a “pattern of racketeering”).

ReplyDeleteRacist Lite.
ReplyDeleteIt's real and it's in Mt. Pleasant.
Bad behavior seems to be the practice at all the higher levels of government and Corporate Organizations!
When will the allegations against Lolli Haws be revealed?
Meanwhile, the shame of Mt. Pleasant only grows!

Not my Values.

Not in my Community.
Not a Positive Image.
No Tolerance for Ignorant Intolerance.
Positively Mt. Pleasant!
* From the defense used by Former City of Racine Police Chief Kurt Whalen in explaining why his actions should be dismissed in the RICO lawsuit filed against The City of Racine and others.
Racist "Lite" is NOT OK with me.
Positively Mt. Pleasant means no tolerance of IGNORANT intolerance!
