Protesters like to claim they are “speaking truth to power.” That’s both noble and heroic. It is also rare, because speaking the truth requires knowing the truth. And knowledge is gained not by joining the crowd chanting slogans but by taking time to talk and to listen, questioning, debating, reading, and reflecting. It is a slow, arduous and ultimately rewarding process. It is called education.
To judge by media coverage — especially prominent due to the strong visuals of tent encampments and tensions between protesters and officials — one might infer that Gaza is foremost among political concerns this spring.
Former Beloit Daily News Editor Bill Barth sees echoes of the Vietnam War protest movement in today’s campus protests over the Isreal-Gaza war.
The “outside agitator” meme is invoked to absolve — or, at least, mitigate — your tribe of accountability. That’s a cop out.
Blogger Gregory Humphrey chides Columbia University for blocking press access to protests. He also criticizes protesters’ demands journalists get protesters’ permission to photograph them.

With a particular focus on key swing areas like Green Bay and Brown County, La Crosse and Eau Claire, and the Milwaukee area suburbs.
The fake electors in Nevada, Georgia, and Arizona who nearly overturned the 2020 presidential election are now facing criminal charges. We have no clue if the State of Wisconsin will press criminal charges against our slate of fake electors.
Haberman family members have long drawn salaries from local foundation.
The office of Taylor County DA Kristi Tlusty told WisPolitics she has declined to file charges of campaign finance violations tied to a 2022 primary challenge of Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester.
In recent years, activists have started to get more militant as they face delays and opposition to changes they feel are essential to save the environment.
“It’s good for the environment!” and better for shareholders.
Our Wisconsin congressional delegation needs to know our state has unique attributes that highlight the fact that a one-step solution does not exist.
Thanks to Biden’s affordable clean energy plan, we have even more ways to invest in our students and our future.
