I appreciate engaging in dialogue- it’s so important. This is an educator & others probably share this POV. We need to dismantle the argument. It is ill-informed & blind to this admin’s intentions, based on a track record. So if you encounter s/o saying abolishing the DOE is a good thing, be ready.

Dr. Jill Underly has been a public school principal, a middle and high school teacher, a school district superintendent, and is WI’s State Superintendent.

Her opponent, Brittany Kinser, has never held a teaching license in Wisconsin.

Never thought I would see the day that high school students would show up en masse for teachers and librarians but they sure did

A high school auditorium completely packed with people. Many are holding signs expressing support for librarians and teaching staff.

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.

They do seem like inconsistent positions, but the attacks on teachers was really about dismantling public schools to get taxpayer dollars for home schoolers and private charter schools run by charlatans.
