Sources within the Connecticut Juvenile Training School report how some residents in building # 5 are sleeping on mattresses. Now CJTS denied such a thing is going on and then imposed silence over the whole issue. Let us focus on how the culture within plantation facilities choose to deny any thing is going on no matter what the question might be. Let me be clear. For years people of color made statements - backed by data- about racial animus flowing from fonts of negativity. However, no real acknowledgement about racial bias ( from some whites) toward people of color were firmly dealt with.
Most recently there are allegations a white Youth Service Officer called black or brown residents "porch monkeys." Yes "porch monkey" is a negative term for black people. What transpired after the "porch monkey" comment became public is consistent with an agency in denial. DCF spokesman Gary Keeblatt said how Human Resources launched an investigation about the term. Also verbal mumbo jumbo from Keeblatt focsed on how DCF values employees concerns etc. Do readers of this blog notice there was no mention of a culture within DCF / CJTS which permits racial animus to exist? This is what definitely Keeblatt excluded from his public statement. At no point has DCF /CJTS admitted there looms over their facilities a systematic culture of racial animus aimed at employees of color; soil of hatred prepared by willing hands and minds of management.
New allegations continue surfacing at CJTS / DCF but no management person addresses those real issues thus permitting such things to occur. Don't worry though readers, in the future some epiphany about how management allowed a white male employee to run amok among fellow workers of color will surface.
Wonder how DCF /CJTS can duck from allegations blacks etc were harassed -with the blessing of white management.
