The bills presented by Wisconsin legislators seek to ignore historical truths, under the guise that teaching history and current events accurately would upset students and assault the sensibilities of Caucasian students.
With more than an estimated 207,000 members of the LGBTQ+ community calling Wisconsin home, LGBTQ+ individuals are our friends, our neighbors and members of our family.
Johnson’s strong predilection toward unscientific notions, ones damaging to public health, is by no means confined to the pandemic.
LFB’s re-estimates show an increase of $4.4 billion above January estimates, with a projected ending balance in the 2021-23 budget of $5.7 billion. That flood of projected cash raises a critical question: Will taxpayers get that money back or will they get Tonied?

Over 500 colleges and universities will require students to be vaccinated before showing up on campus this fall. But not the University of Wisconsin. That has to change.
Barnes hasn’t decided whether to run for another term as lieutenant governor or to enter the Senate race. But his speech was the most potent of the Democratic state convention.
As evidence grows that the deadly coronavirus leaked from a lab in Wuhan, U.S. Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Allouez, says we’ve learned two things: the mainstream media was again expertly performed its role as “useful idiots” and we are at the cusp of a renewed Cold War with China.
