The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, consider why delegates at the Wisconsin state GOP convention did not endorse a candidate in the Republican primary for governor. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
The Madison civil rights leader says white people should ask how young white men become radicalized rather than how Black people feel about the shooting.
School is supposed to be a safe place for our children to learn and grow. Instead, we fight about critical race theory, books people don’t want our children to read, and many other topics EXCEPT safety in our schools. God forbid we address that.

As long as guns remain a senseless symbol of freedom to millions of rabid gun owners, nothing will change. This will happen again.
A cliché more worthless than ‘thoughts and prayers’
Each county must enact its own ban on private spending on elections administration.
It will raise the city’s profile.
Despite a shortage of health care providers, which will only get worse in the next couple of years, Gov. Tony Evers vetoed bipartisan legislation that would have allowed well-educated advanced practice registered nurses to work to the full extent of their education, training and certification.
