The white female Youth Services Office that made a comment about " porch monkeys"at Connecticut Juvenile Training School to residents of color has finally been disciplined. What is interesting is how white management at CJTS acted in a decisive manner about the racially loaded term. However, let me be clear about the so called discipline; if not for the agitation of activists and DCF Plantation Blog reporting, no discipline would have taken place. DCF / CJTS are often called Monday morning quarterbacks, only making decisions after issues become known publicly.
CJTS is notorious for harsher actions against people of color and lesser penalties for whites. To be honest DCF / CJTS only acted in disciplining this female because a local news station WFSB channel 3 reported the comment October 31, 2013. Then an employee of CJTS appeared on the same WFSB broadcast Oct. 31st and confirmed the allegation [ the face and voice were altered ]. So while it seems on the surface that justice landed at a facility that favors it's white employees, it only occurred due to praxis and not any pang of conscience on the part of white management.
