Scott Frostman: Questioning schools isn’t ‘wicked’
Public schools must refocus their priorities on the fundamentals of learning and drop the continual barrage of social engineering.

Fabu: Disrespect, incivility mar gun debate
The expectation is that civility will operate in political areas between all political parties, but the American people are not seeing that in recent years.

Mike McCabe: Pleading the Second
I support the Second Amendment. All of it. All 27 words. Gun fetishists do not. They read it selectively.

Dave Cieslewicz: Prepare to panic
It’s too early to panic over prospects for a second Trump presidency. But it’s not too early to get real nervous.

WisOpinion: ‘The Insiders’ consider GOP lawmakers’ shared revenue plan
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, take on the wrangling over shared revenue after GOP lawmakers announced their plan and Gov. Tony Evers threatened his veto. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association.

Don Millis: Godlewski should stay in her lane
The issues confronting election officials are numerous, her actions only serve to confuse the public.

Dave Cieslewicz: A job for Godlewski
She has stumbled out of the gate by picking maybe the worst possible project. It’s easy enough to do a reset.

Dan O’Donnell: The Republican Legislature tries to save liberal cities from themselves
A plan from the Republican Legislature to increase shared revenue from the state to cities like Milwaukee and forces liberal-led municipalities to reject their own worst impulses.

Bruce Thompson: Will state Supreme Court cool its ideological rancor?
As of August 1, its hostility toward experts and democracy won’t fly.

Scott Walker: Trump must win Wisconsin to win presidency
Winning Wisconsin is the key to the 2024 presidential election. Former President Donald Trump should come to the first debate in Milwaukee. Voters in Wisconsin do not take being ignored lightly.

Richard Moore: Can Robert F. Kennedy Jr. topple Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination?
Why conservatives should hope he tries.

Beth Bennett: Bill to fix records problem deserves support
Senate Bill 117, sponsored by Sen. Duey Stroebel (R-Saukville) and Rep. Todd Novak (R-Dodgeville), would allow a judge to decide whether a records requester is entitled to attorney fees regardless of when a stalled request for public documents is finally fulfilled.

Miranda Spindt: Wisconsin activists push politics in classrooms
The Waukesha School Board is well within its authority to keep and enforce the “Controversial Issues” policy, and an attempt to strike it down as a First Amendment violation would require opponents to prove that certain viewpoints are being discriminated against.

Bob Lindmeier: As a meteorologist, I’m issuing an alert over climate change
Climate change is making extreme weather worse and will further disrupt our lives, livelihoods and economy unless and until it is curbed.

Bruce Murphy: County’s debt relief program no laughing matter
Program with huge 100-to-1 return inspired by comedian John Oliver. Seriously.

Paris Procopis: Donald Trump and the presidency, is it time to pass the MAGA torch?
The time to crown a new MAGA champion to ride the wave into the future has come.

Reggie Jackson: Dear MAGA folk: When was this magical time when America was so great that you want to return to?
When a large segment of this country continues to ignore the ugly parts of American history to advocate for reclaiming a time when America was great, it bothers me that they do not at least provide some details as to when that time was.

John Nichols: If Biden really believes in press freedom, he’ll stop targeting Julian Assange
The president spoke powerfully about the importance of journalism. He needs to back those words up and end US efforts to prosecute the WikiLeaks founder.

John Torinus: Ukraine’s crunch time
It’s crunch time in Ukraine’s defense of its sovereign lands from a vicious assault by Russia.

Heather Smith: Fact-checking the feud
Is public broadcasting government funded?
