WHITE GUILT AND BLACK RAGE ARE A TOXIC MIX THAT HELPS NOBODY.

A year ago, we noted criticism of an allegedly inclusive discipline policy in Madison's government schools from a variety of sources that might otherwise be sympathetic to the so-called progressive initiatives.  The policy is still in place, and the predictable consequences follow.

The source of the title quote, though, is yet another so-called progressive experiencing a mugging by reality.  "One of the policy’s sharpest critics is Peter Anderson, a highly regarded Madison liberal who is leading a campaign to toughen classroom discipline."

Apparently, more than a few Madison teachers are taking their pensions or looking for school districts where they can do their jobs.  With the continued spreading of the Wuhan coronavirus now giving school administrators excuses to get paid without even pretending to work, and parents looking for informal ways to set up neighborhood homeschooling centers, perhaps we'll see some of those teachers becoming independent contractors, and that might boost the labor force participation.
