MADISON, WI – It’s been 24 hours since the Trump administration announced its plan to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education and slash $1 billion from Wisconsin schools—and Lobbyist Brittany Kinser has said nothing.
No press releases.
No social media posts.
No answers for Wisconsin parents, teachers, or students.
Her donors and political allies are cheering on this attack on our public schools. Meanwhile, Lobbyist Brittany Kinser is hiding.
Why? Because she supports this.
Lobbyist Brittany Kinser has said before that she backs eliminating the U.S. Department of Education—the very agency that is critical for funding special education, teacher training, and school meal programs for Wisconsin kids. Now that her allies in Washington are following through on their threats, she doesn’t want to answer for the consequences.
“Wisconsin schools are already underfunded—now they’re facing an additional $1 billion hole,” said Jill Underly, State Superintendent of Public Instruction. “Parents deserve answers. Teachers deserve answers. Our kids deserve answers. But Lobbyist Brittany Kinser is nowhere to be found.”
This isn’t an abstract debate—this is your child’s classroom, your neighborhood school, your community. These cuts will mean:
- Larger class sizes
- Fewer teachers
- Cuts to school meal programs
- Reduced funding for special education
While Jill Underly is fighting back to protect Wisconsin students, Lobbyist Brittany Kinser is hiding from the people she wants to lead.
