Extreme Right Group, Citizens for Responsible Government, tied to anti-teacher fliers (Janesville)

[WIProgressive88]

From the Janesville Gazette:

JANESVILLE — An anti-teacher flier distributed over the weekend in Janesville is the work of a conservative Milwaukee organization with local representation.

Citizens for Responsible Government, also known as CRG Network, filed a freedom of information request with the School District of Janesville on March 29, said Brett Berg, spokesman for the district. Those figures were used to create the flier, said CRG Executive Administrator Chris Kliesmet.

"The group and its representative, Orville Seymer, filed a freedom of information request for a list of all Janesville district teachers, their job titles and annual salaries," Berg said.
....

The flier distributed this weekend is done in the same style as a flier stuffed in some Janesville mailboxes in March. Those fliers listed the salaries of some district administrators and teachers and made specific charges against public schools, including "dumbed-down curriculum," "Marxist/globalist agenda," "sexualization of children" and "union bullying and vindictive targeting of students."

1. Oh my this is the Nazi way. When are the people in this country going to wake up and realize they

are the ones who are dumbing down of our children.

2. When? That raises the question of "How?"

The Republicans have been getting away with the Big Lies for 30 years now. Maybe 45, considering the way they bought into Nixon. The people to whom this sort of ad appeals are already disdainful of education, and this will only get worse over time as the Republican system produces more ill-educated adults. Most of the illiterate side of my family became Reagan "Democrats" years ago & are still there, stuck in their racism and general ignorance.

3. Well until people realize we all must work together this country will fail. Well I don't know what

we can do to change it or How.

4. This is what is meant by FitzWalkerstan. Volunteer NOW!

This bullshit is why everyone of us should be getting out to work the recall when we can, donating money if we can, and making sure our neighbors know we don't stand for this hate-filled, divide and conquer sewerage that Walker and is cohorts in the state legislature want to shove us into.

Call your local Dem office if you have one. Find a candidate to volunteer with. I know their websites have a way to do that. While you're there, throw them another $10, $50, or $200 bucks.

5. And supposedly the news paper didn't even print this

And the paper is supposedly not that happy about that;

The flier was distributed in Gazette home-delivery tubes.

Gazette representatives said the newspaper did not authorize the use of its tubes, and the flier is not connected to the newspaper.

Gazette Circulation Manager Lon Haenel said Gazette tubes are for newspaper use only. The paper asks unauthorized people or groups to stop using The Gazette's tubes, Haenel said, and will contact the police if they do not.
