STICKING TO THEIR WORLDVIEW LIKE VELCRO

The entire world observed how Tea Party Republicans led by Ted Cruz tried to shutdown the United States government. To make matters worse these mad as a hatter Republicans continued to spin a yarn about trying to promote what most Americans wanted, to appeal ObamaCare ( National Health Insurance plan). It is one thing to believe in something if there is a foundation built on truth to support it. Still Republicans cling to their worldview like velcro:  now Americans are ranting like hell, and GOP poll numbers fall to a low point.

In Middletown , Connecticut another group of adminstrators ( at Connecticut Juvenile Training School ) are just as delusional as Ted Cruz et al. : CJTS management claim they do not have racial issues festering within their facility. Then these same people proceed to show utter disregard for employees of color by implementing unfair disciplinary practices. Data obtained through the Freedom of Information Act beg to differ with obstructionist ranting about equality on the CJTS plantation. Why is it then CJTS management (and Tea Party Republicans ) are sticking to their worldview like velcro? It is reasonable to infer that both groups suffer from several factors-- delusion and the other racial animus; this is the fuel driving ideological trains. Tea Party Republicans think obstructing the policies of President Barack Obama gains acceptance in voters eyes- delusional. Now we look at the racial animus from conservatives toward the first black American president. No person with a modicum of intellect fails to notice the vitriol foaming from mouths of white conservatives about Obama. From waving Confederate flags to saying Obama is a foreigner, the hate is palpable.

 In the CJTS facility delusional thinking reigns supreme among mangement types. Five employees launched a class action lawsuit in 2010, it is clear disciplinary measures against employees of color are unfair ( 66% of all DCF disciplines focus on males of color), Human Resources division are besieged with complaints of bias ( at CJTS). In the midst of all this turmoil CJTS / DCF claim there are no racial... bias issues in their Eden like atmosphere. Yeah right !! If the data points to disparity in discipline toward employees of color can it be inferred racial animus exists?  There is one thing we do not need to speculate on and that is both groups are sticking to their worldview like velcro.
