Commentary Update for May 24, 2001: Citizen Statement Policy, Derek Dahlke
Dear Commentary Viewers:
I wrote a short critique of the Oshkosh Common Council's new citizen statement
policy:
http://www.uwosh.edu/faculty_staff/palmeri/speech.htm
I would be happy to post additional comments on the web site about this topic if anyone is interested in submitting such comments. The site is actually getting a decent sized readership these days, which is nice to see.
Other news:
*Mr. Mather and I have learned that Derek Dahlke, the man who reported
to the Northwestern that his 6 year old son was accused of sexual harassment
in a case of zero-tolerance policies gone awry (see http://wisinfo.com/northwestern/local/030901-4.html),
has a lengthy record of clashes with the law, including felony weapons possession
and battery. Check out the court records yourself at http://ccap.courts.state.wi.us/
. Perhaps the Northwestern, which saw fit to point out that the father of a
victim of a drunken driver had himself been convicted of drunk driving almost
10 years ago, would see fit to investigate Dahlke? Ya think?
