KENOSHA, Wis. — A former Tremper High School staff member accused of making inappropriate comments to a student was ultimately fired by the Kenosha Unified School District—not for that conduct, but for lying on his job application, according to district officials, a decision that is drawing scrutiny from parents and raising broader questions about hiring practices and transparency.

  1. This is way too common now. There should be lines that should not be crossed. First Montenia Nelson being a creep and fired and now this. Watch your children at Ann’s Wonderland Daycare in Kenosha.

    1. That’s the point. You’re being conditioned to be numb to it all.
      Do you think Dr. $200k is going to willingly going to do the right thing and step down from his Superintendent position?

  2. That the SYSTEM (KUSD) refuses to acknowledge any of this, acts as if this were normal, protects these monsters, and tries to quiet the truth tellers, tells everyone all they need to know. DEFUND KUSD. These possessed people DO NOT have your child’s best interests in mind. And as a ‘no-brainer’, any down votes simply tells you KUSD parasites visit this news site. That they try so hard to defend this insanity confirms completely, that the KUSD establishment needs to be dismantaled.

    9
    2
  3. I’m sick of everyone saying defund, defund, defund. You take away money from an established system and infrastructure and aren’t offering solutions as to what would be put in place to replace KUSD. Are there things screwed up in KUSD? Yes. Are changes needed? Absolutely. But you are suggesting to cut your nose off to spite your face. Offer realistic and relevant solutions to address these issues.

    1. And these activities are not new. When I was in high school, 30 years ago, one my male teachers continuously made comments to a female student that she should be a dancer at Sugar Shack.

      1. Home school if you wish but the Wisconsin constitution mandates free public schools. Not every district is as messed up as KUSD which needs reform.

    2. You are part of the problem, by coddling and accepting this crap. You wouldnt say this nonsense if your child was abused by this system!

    3. First off, the children are not being ‘educated’ now and ARE being threatened. So there’s a zero net loss to the kids when it IS closed down. And second, as Ive stated plenty of tines already: All education staff and admin. are to get a stipend and then a performance bonus after a rigorus parent led vetting interview.

      3
      1
    4. The “established system” is broken and has been for a while!

      After defunding KUSD, we the citizens along with local elected officials will open up charter schools and hire precious KUSD teachers that have an excellent track record of educating kids. Tue focus will be on math, reading, history, writing, and learning a new language. The charter schools will not engage in race identity. Your child’s skin color will mean nothing and their individual character will mean everything! No LGBT after school clubs or anything else that has nothing to do with school curriculum.

      The current KUSD “system” is big to fail in their minds! They’re a bunch of tax pirates robbing our kids of an education, while never be held accountable!

      5
      1
  4. Kusd has become the grooming applicant of the states. What an absolute joke. And you beg for more money and up taxes for the shit you hire and produce? Get fucked

    14
    1
  5. Obviously deviant behavior is not practiced by all KUSD employees but since they don’t demand resignations or termination of members of the KUSD leadership, teachers union or the school board they are at the very least complicit.

  6. You would think a simple search on ccap would out this employment candidate. do you think KUSD actually tries to hire perverts?

  7. KUSD hired a person years ago that was convicted of the first felony hate crime beating in Wisconsin. It was all over a pair of shoes. All over the news but hired as a security guard for the school system.

    2
    2
  8. Is anyone else appalled at the students grammar? I know that’s not the point of this story, but what are we teaching in our schools?

  9. You cannot defund KUSD because it is its own government entity. That being said, since all of those who are calling for it probably graduated from KUSD; might want to return to school so you can learn to speak intelligently on matters.

    1
    6
    1. Our educational system does not want to produce people who are smart enough to realize that Democrats are the problem. What is the person’s name that hired this guy ? Jeff Weiss is the next ex-superintdent of schools in Kenosha. He’s a clown.

      4
      1
    2. We may not be able to individually, but our lawmakers in Madison surely can, and are. …And, you can bet we’re bending their ears weekly! The more down votes, half truth-ed responses, and liberal tears we see here, the more we contact them. So do your worst, it just strengthens us to push harder! And don’t try to speak down to us, we’ve witnessed first hand the deranged liberal mentality our kids suffer through.
