Job Security

If things don't work out for Judy Krueger next month in the Ward 3 council race, at least her day job is doing well. In today's Daily Evergreen, it is reported that the WSU Center for Human Rights, for which Krueger is a case manager and senior investigator, is increasing its workload. Since last April, the CHR is now investigating equal opportunity and harrassment issues involving students as well as faculty. The article states:
Since taking on a larger case load, Krueger said she would like to see more investigators added to the staff.
That can't be good news for students or faculty. In an editorial on townhall.com , Mark Tapscott, Director of the Center for Media and Public Policy at The Heritage Foundation, characterized CHR's reaction to the controversial play "Passion of the Musical" as "nascent American Stalinism." We've already seen one WSU Education student "purged" for not following the party line. Now the university will have a even larger department to enforce "political correctness." And we Washington taxpayers are footing the bill for these inquisitions.

How sad for WSU that someone who is known to eggagerate or manipulate the truth and apparently lie if needed, is in charge of investigating a sensitive issue like race relations. Not only has Judy Kruegers office abused their power, they have rebuffed the corrections suggested by the Human Rights Commission. Typical of liberal causes, they openly point out their own failures as a call for more power and money.
I continue to hope for an adult to come forward and put a stop to this childish behavior. However, it appears that crazy, whacked out thinking is protected, nurtured and even cherished. It's only mainstream, traditional, conservative thought that is questioned and openly persecuted.

In many ways, I really don't care if the leftist WSU faculty dons red armbands, locks arms, and starts singing the Internationale down Glenn Terrell Mall. I care as a taxpayer, of course, but my kids don't go there to get brainwashed (yet).

However, as a resident, I wish they would keep all the Marxist-Leninist BS up on the hill and not flowing down Main Street. We're trying to build a city here.

I just wonder was she campaigning during her lunch hour or CHR (keeper of all equity) make her use vacation leave.
