Our $300,000 tax dollars a year working hard for us?
I found this article in the PR Newswire, United Business Media dated 17th June 2010.
“This was an invaluable opportunity for our mediators to experience the common physical and emotional challenges that are a part of the aging process,” said Mike Finkle, Human Relations Specialist for OC Human Relations. “For awhile, our mediators were able to, nearly literally, ‘take a walk in the shoes’ of seniors and others who live with such challenges every day.
To simulate experiencing the difficulties of living with arthritis, for example, program participants were asked to don heavy, clumsy gloves and then button their shirts or open medication bottles and handle small pills. Participants also put popcorn in their shoes and walked around to simulate the feeling of painful joints.”
The Orange County Human Relations Commission, a dinosaur agency foisted upon tax payers for thirty years, again shows how negligible its services are to our community. Read the rest of “OC Human Relations Commission Working Hard, But For Who?”
Is this all the blogger has on this issue? What a clumsy critique. Nay, I retract that. By focusing on age discrimination training, it’s a very convenient one that sidesteps the more prickly issue of race relations that the commission works on. Couple that with the “fiscal conservatism” and you have an avoidance that is strategic and safe – sorta like the evasion of immigration with regards to Bill Hunt’s campaign (he’s for weed! good god!)
Now tell me, would the elimination of the OCHR contribute or not to the County’s reputation as racist?
Or better yet, what is to be had against annual hate crime reports for the County that inform policy, etc.?
