@abuckslater The founder of the Skirball Center, Uri Herscher, spent two years in rabbinic school as the commuting rabbi to our small congregation in Dubuque, Iowa. He would step in front of the bima and give riveting perfectly composed sermon/talks without a note.

Our public schools are the 8th best in the nation now. Four years ago they were 18th. We’ve made our kids a top priority because what’s best for our kids is what’s best for our state. #wigov

@synathroesmus @WisconsinDPI "The Am. Century" -- our economic boom and worldwide dominance was built on universal public education. Shifting to unregulated schools w/out teacher requirements is a step backwards; many of these schools do not teach science or believe in it. Good luck competing with China.

Earlier this year, I took a deep dive b/c I was informed by @WisconsinDPI that it no longer keeps "information regarding the religious affiliations" of private schools in these programs. And it should not be understated that the percentage of religious schools just keeps growing.

Understand that @michelsforgov wants to expand these vouchers & defund public schools b/c currently, 95% (!) of schools in the Milwaukee, Racine and Statewide Private School Choice Programs provide "religious-based education as the PRIMARY purpose" of their educational programs.

Tim Michels says we should defund public schools, give parents vouchers for private schools, and end the "CRT." Evers points out that this position is radical. And that CRT isn't taught in schools, ABCs are. And of course we should teach the real history of race and racism.

@ForOurFutureWI Oh, thanks for comment. NOW I know why Evers compared the per student spending in Conn. to Wis. However, he forgot to mention the dollars he was citing were per-student stats or to connect Michels to Conn. I bet his team was hitting their heads as he whiffed over and over.

Tim Michels just called WI an unattractive place to live- is that why he lives in CT? #wigov #WIGovDebate

@DanielBice I guess Evers' crackerjack team thought the biggest issue he could address was his alarm clock. He sure got his punch in on that one! Meanwhile he missed a half-dozen knockout blows by not even swinging.
