Scoutmaster Ryan M. Antcsak, Candidate For 8th Aldermanic District Indefinitely Suspended From Boy Scouts Of America Over Political Flyer Stapled On Scouts Troop 11 Recruitment Letter In Milwaukee

Antcsak claims that two candidates that he is running against in the Aldermanic 8th District and Milwaukee County Supervisor District 12th led to his indefinite Scoutmaster position suspension, possibly ending in termination from the Boy Scouts of America Troop 11 leadership role in Milwaukee.

March 29, 2024

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Thursday, Ryan M. Antcsak, a former Milwaukee County House of Corrections officer and a former Republican candidate for the State Assembly on social media (Facebook) claimed that he was indefinitely suspended from his Scoutmaster leadership position in the Boy Scouts Troop 11 in Milwaukee. Antcsak says that he had dedicated 23 years of his life to the Boy Scouts of America and on Thursday he learned of his suspension by a letter from the Boy Scouts Council notifying him of his indefinite suspension.

Antcsak also says that his suspension could possibly lead to termination. Apparently, Antcsak stapled his current political campaign flyer for Alderman to the Boy Scout Troop 11 recruitment letter and then, the Boy Scout Council allegedly received many complaints from supporters of Milwaukee Alderwoman JoCasta Zamarripa who he is running against and from supporters of Milwaukee County Supervisor Juan Miguel Martinez who Antcsak is running against as a write-in candidate. 

The Boy Scouts of America political policy: The Boy Scouts of America must not, through its governing body or through any of its officers, chartered councils, Scouters, or members, involve Scouting in political matters. However, this must not be interpreted to prevent the teaching of ideals of patriotism and good citizenship as required to fulfill the Boy Scouts of America's purpurse.

Antcsak was not allowed to be on the Milwaukee County Supervisor ballot for the 12th District because he wrote on his nomination papers that he was running as a Republican, both the Milwaukee County Supervisor and City of Milwaukee Aldermanic election races are non-partisan.

The Milwaukee County and City elections are on Tuesday, April 2, 2024. If Antcsak is defeated in both the Supervisor and Aldermanic races, he will allegedly be without a job.

In 2012, the MSJ reported that Scoutmaster Antcsak's Troop 11 were wearing a racist deemed patch showing a family running (crossing a road), which went viral and the Boy Scouts of America ordered for Troop 11 (used Troop 11 Border Patrol) to remove the racist patch. Antcsak said at the time that his Troop 11 would use and keep the label Border Patrol.

No Planned César E. Chávez Day 2024 Observance At City Hall In Milwaukee, Nor At Southside Chávez Placita

No César E. Chávez Day (Birthday) observance and celebration planned at City Hall in the City of Milwaukee, nor at the Chávez life-size bronze statue location on the Chávez BID 38!

March 29, 2024

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - The 9th annual César E. Chávez Birthday observation at City Hall in City of Milwaukee is not scheduled to be celebrated due to the Chávez Birthday falling on Easter Sunday, March 31, 2024. 

Many offices at City Hall will be closed on Good Friday, March 29, 2024.

Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) checked any available news (press releases) mentioning, if the Chávez observance would take place at City Hall and apparently no info has been released by Milwaukee Common Council President, Alderman Jóse G. Pérez, and the City Clerk's Office including the Cavalier Johnson Mayor's Office.

Last year, the Chávez Birthday observance was announced a few days before Chávez's Birthday after HNNUSA reported that no information was available, if City Hall would officially observe the Chávez Birthday celebration.

9 years ago, the Milwaukee Common Council spear headed by Alderman Pérez led the approval of an optional Chávez Holiday for the City of Milwaukee employees.

Also, their is no planned Chávez Birthday celebration at the Chávez Placita where a $50,000 bronze life-size Chávez statue is located at the 900 block of S. César E. Chávez Drive in the Southside of Milwaukee.

The Chávez life-size bronze statue is located in the property of Supermercado El Rey.

Milwaukee's Southside became the 8th location in the nation and the 1st city in the Midwest to unveil a Chávez life-size bronze statue in 2016.

The United Farm Workers (UFW) union leader Cesár E. Chávez would have been celebrating his 98th Birthday on March 31, 2024, if alive. Chávez passed away in 1993 at the age of 66.

Chávez, a military veteran from California was well known for his Mexican-American Civil Rights movement nationally including Wisconsin in the late 1960's and early 1970's during the boycott of grapes campaign that later led for Latino (Mexican-Americans) farm workers to earn better wages and better housing conditions for migrant farm workers.

Recently, the Milwaukee County Transit System installed a César E. Chávez commemorative bus stop shelter at the 800 block of S. César E. Chávez Drive.

A second Chávez Dr. bus shelter is located at W. Greenfield Ave. and S. Chávez Dr..
