Doctors with suspended licenses are allowed to work as medical professionals in state prisons.

And are often hired to work on reservations

This is why people of color don't fucking trust the medical field. What the fuck?

I don't have the fucking words.

Today In History

Henry Ossawa Tanner, one of the most distinguished African-American artist of the nineteenth century was commemorated on a U.S. postage stamp on this date September 10, 1973.

Tanner spent most of his time in France after 1891, and achieved an international reputation largely through his religious paintings. Their deep spirituality reflects Tanner's upbringing as a minister's son.

Tanner was raised by his parents Reverend Benjamin Tucker Tanner, a future bishop in the African Methodist Episcopal Church, and Sarah Tanner, a woman who had escaped her enslavers via the Underground Railroad. Their son’s unusual middle name was derived from the name of the town Osawatomie, Kansas, where the abolitionist John Brown had initiated his antislavery campaign.

Of all the questions which can come before this nation, short of the actual preservation of its existence in a great war, there is none which compares in importance with the great central task of leaving this land even a better land for our descendants than it is for us.

Shakeup at Kansas mental hospital includes employee with prior sexual misconduct

By Newsdailynow -- UPDATED JULY 30, 2018

The interim superintendent of Osawatomie State Hospital has been replaced and a lower level employee with a record of sexual misconduct is on administrative leave after just three months on the job.

The interim superintendent of a Kansas mental hospital has been replaced and a lower level employee with a record of sexual misconduct is on administrative leave after just three months on the job. State officials are saying little about why Clayton Bledsoe is no longer acting as interim superintendent and Quincey Holloway is no longer risk manager at Osawatomie State Hospital. Angela de Rocha, a spokeswoman for the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services, said the agency can’t comment on personnel issues.

ut Holloway was hired in April despite losing his certificate to be a school social worker in New Jersey in 2013 after five female co-workers accused him of sexual harassment. Bledsoe was hired in May 2017 to be the hospital’s director of nursing and was appointed interim superintendent when the hospital’s previous leader, John Worley, left on April 13, 2018, according to a news release from KDADS.

Bledsoe didn’t respond to a phone message left Monday.

He’s been replaced as interim superintendent by Wes Cole, a former longtime Osawatomie staffer who also took the helm temporarily during a turbulent time for the hospital in 2011, following the firing of Greg Valentine. Reached by phone Monday, Cole said KDADS officials asked him to take over for about a month until they can hire a permanent replacement. “I started on Wednesday,” Cole said.

He said he had no information about what happened to Bledsoe. Cole also said he didn’t know Holloway, who de Rocha said started at Osawatomie on April 23, 2018. As risk manager, Holloway’s job was to prevent errors in medical care and protect the hospital from legal liability. But he was only on the job for three months.

Reached by phone Monday, Holloway said he had been placed on administrative leave. He wouldn’t say why. “I don’t have any comment,” Holloway said. “I’m going to let this play out.” Holloway lost his New Jersey school social worker certificate after five female coworkers testified to a state licensing board that he had sexually harassed them.

Holloway denied all of the allegations at the time and appealed the decision to the state commissioner of education and later to the New Jersey court system. But the courts ultimately upheld the revocation, saying it was “well-supported by the evidence.” According to court documents, four women testified under oath and subject to cross-examination that Holloway had made inappropriate comments to them in the workplace, including one who said “he told her he was aroused when he saw her wearing boots with heels and commented about the size of her breasts.” Another teacher testified that Holloway’s inappropriate comments escalated to physical assault, as he forced her into a faculty bathroom and exposed his penis.

“(The teacher) told him to ‘put it away’ and to stop,” court records say. “Holloway shut the lights again and left the room.” Holloway declined to comment on whether he had notified Kansas officials about the licensing case in New Jersey when he applied to work at Osawatomie. Osawatomie State Hospital is one of two state-run facilities for people in Kansas with severe mental illness. It serves the entire eastern part of the state; a facility in Larned serves the west.

Osawatomie recently emerged from a difficult period of operations. The 158-bed facility regained full federal certification in December, two years after inspectors cited it for a raft of safety concerns following the rape of a female employee by a patient.

Little League World Series Power Surge Draws Drug Scrutiny

WILLIAMSPORT, Pennsylvania.  The Little League World Series began here last week, normally a feel-good break for sports fans turned off by big salaries earned by players on teams they root against.  “It’s great to see kids out in the fresh air,” says Mike Woblatz, father of 11-year-old Mike Jr., third baseman for the Osawatomie, Kansas team.  “I think there’s too much emphasis on the overemphasis…

Emotional und erfüllend: Karawane folgt dem Potawatomi Trail of Death durch Kansas

Ohne es zu wissen, überquerte George Godfrey jeden Tag den Potawatomi Trail of Death auf seinem Weg zur Arbeit. Erst als seine Stammeszeitung einen Artikel über den Pfad veröffentlichte, erfuhr Godfrey zum ersten Mal von ihm und von seiner Nähe zu ihm. Heute ist Godfrey Präsident der Potawatomi Trail of Death Association, einer Gruppe, die den Pfad von 1838 erforscht, ihm ein Denkmal setzt und das Bewusstsein für ihn fördert. Im Jahr 1838 zwang die US-Miliz 859 Angehörige der Potawatomi-Nation, Indiana zu verlassen und in das Reservat im heutigen östlichen Kansas zu reisen. Während der 660 Meilen langen Reise, die vom 4. September bis zum 4. November stattfand, starben mehr als 40 Potawatomi - viele von ihnen waren Kinder. Diese Zwangsumsiedlung wurde als der Potawatomi Trail of Death bekannt.   Heute führt die Potawatomi Trail of Death Association alle fünf Jahre eine Karawane an, in der die Teilnehmer diesen Weg zurückverfolgen. Dieses Jahr nahmen etwa 30 Personen teil. Die Reise begann am Montag und endete am Samstag in der Nähe von Mound City. Godfrey gründete die Karawane 1988 zusammen mit Shirley Willard, und beide nehmen weiterhin an der Expedition teil. Godfrey, 80, ist ein Stammesmitglied der Citizen Potawatomi Nation. Willard, 86, ist Historikerin und lebt in Rochester, Indiana, in der Nähe des Beginns des Trail of Death. Willard und Godfrey schlossen sich 1988 zusammen, um die erste Reise zum 150. Jahrestag des Trail of Death zu organisieren. Willard sagte, dass die Karawane dazu beiträgt, die Geschichte zu bewahren, Freundschaften zu schließen und "die Potawatomi wissen zu lassen, dass wir uns wünschen, dass dies nie passiert wäre". "Ich glaube, Indiana wäre ein besserer Ort, wenn die Indianer nicht vertrieben worden wären", sagte Willard. "Wissen Sie, Indiana sollte das Land der Indianer sein, und dann haben sie sie vertrieben. Was haben sie sich dabei gedacht?" Am Samstagmittag versammelten sich die Teilnehmer zu einem von der Stadtverwaltung gesponserten Mittagessen in Osawatomie, der vorletzten Station ihrer Reise. Die Stadt Osawatomie hat ihren Namen vom Zusammenfluss zweier indianischer Stämme in der Gegend: der Osage und der Potawatomi. Alison Hamilton, die für die Historische Gesellschaft von Kansas arbeitet, sagte, dass die Potawatomi ursprünglich in Osawatomie untergebracht werden sollten, aber als sie ankamen, gab es die versprochenen Unterkünfte nicht. Sie wurden dann etwa 20 Meilen nach Süden zur Sugar Creek Mission gebracht, die heute St. Philippine Duchesne Memorial Park heißt und als letzte Station der Karawane dient. Chuck und Cindy Michalski waren in diesem Jahr zum ersten Mal Teilnehmer der Karawane. Sie leben in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, und sind nach Nord-Indiana gefahren, um an der Karawane teilzunehmen. Das Ehepaar sagte, sie hätten vor ein paar Jahren von der Karawane gehört und wussten, dass sie bei der nächsten Gelegenheit teilnehmen wollten. Cindy, die dem Stamm der Citizen Potawatomi Nation angehört, bezeichnete die Erfahrung als "sehr emotional und erfüllend" und wies auf die Bedeutung der Berichte aus erster Hand hin, die die Teilnehmer jeden Tag lesen. Wenn sie auf ihrer Reise an bestimmten Orten vorbeikamen, lasen die Teilnehmer Berichte über die Geschehnisse an diesem Punkt des Weges, wie z.B. die Zahl der neuen Todesfälle. Ein anderer Teilnehmer, Kevin Roberts, sagte, dass die Teilnahme an der Reise "dem, worüber man liest, wirklich eine greifbare, objektive Realität verleiht". "Wenn man diese Reise macht, weiß man, was die Menschen durchgemacht haben", sagte Roberts. "In den meisten Lagern ist jede Nacht jemand gestorben. Es wird einem bewusst, wenn man auf einer Markierung liest, dass wir mit 860 oder so angefangen haben und dass diese Zahl im Laufe unserer Reise, die 660 Meilen, immer kleiner wurde. Roberts, der auch Mitglied der Citizen Potawatomi Nation ist, sagte, dass es am Samstagmorgen einen ganz besonderen Moment gab. Als die Autokarawane durch Johnson County fuhr, flog ein Weißkopfseeadler über ihren Weg. Für Roberts war dies kein zufälliges Ereignis. Es war ein Zeichen eines heiligen Tieres in seiner Kultur. "Es schien, als wüsste der Adler Bescheid und wollte uns sagen: 'Ich sehe euch, und eure Vorfahren sehen euch und sind stolz auf euch'", sagte Roberts.
