How policy & procedure enable racism

The Village of Shorewood Hills Board of Trustees rejected a resolution to censure trustee Shabnam Lotfi after she called out racial discrimination, but how did it get that far? On the podcast today we talk through this case as an example of how seemingly small policies and procedures can be used as a tool to marginalize people. Plus, what the discourse over the Biden candidacy says about white fragility and Boys and Girls Clubs of Dane County CEO Michael Johnson joins us to talk about the one-year anniversary of the McKenzie Regional Workforce Center, the new statue of Vel Phillips on the Capitol grounds and the All White Party. Today's episode is sponsored by Madison Children's Musesum and the Nice Age Trail. Read our story about Shorewood Hills here.
