Toth’s bill, which has passed in both chambers of the Texas Legislature and is headed to Gov. Greg Abbott’s desk for signature into law, states that social studies and civics teachers are not allowed to discuss the concept that “one race or sex is inherently superior to another race or sex,” or the idea that “an individual, by virtue of the individual’s race or sex, bears responsibility for actions committed in the past by other members of the same race or sex.”
The bill also states that teachers cannot be compelled to talk about current events, and if they do, they must “give deference to both sides.” While supporters say this provision promotes objective teaching, critics counter that it limits honest conversation around the deep-rooted issues surrounding the history of race and racism in the U.S.
“The more people learn about critical race theory, whether Republican or Democrat, the more they oppose it,” said Toth, who noted that he is also a preacher, and said God led him to write this bill limiting the teaching of what he termed “an offshoot of critical theory and Marxism.”
Yet he also said his bill wouldn’t prevent a discussion about critical race theory, but would prevent teachers from endorsing what he sees as its conclusions.
“We’re not saying you can’t talk about critical race theory,” he added. “We’re saying you can’t tell a kid they should feel shame because of the color of their skin.”

MPS Perpetuates Fear For Children
by Owen | 1831, 2 Jun 21 | Education, Politics | 3 Comments
This is very, very far from a “return to normal” and completely unnecessary as evidenced by the thousands of schools that have been open since last year with minimal issues.
MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) — Milwaukee public school students will be back in the classroom full-time this fall. The school board approved the administration’s outline 9-0.
Classrooms will be set up to allow three feet of space between students where possible.
Students and staff will still be required to wear masks inside the buildings, but won’t have to outside.
“All of our problems are the same and we’re all doing everything that we possibly can to meet the needs of our students and to take them to better places,” said Superintendent Keith Posley.
He said the Milwaukee Public Schools reopening plan is designed to give students and their parents a return to normal.
UW Regents Swing to Left
by Owen | 1420, 1 Jun 21 | Education, Politics - Wisconsin | 59 Comments
Elections have consequences. But as the legislature looks to unleash their tuition authority, this decision may have an immediate impact on thousands of Wisconsin students.
Attention this week turns to the UW Board of Regents, which finds itself at an interesting inflection point in the political power struggle over control of the University of Wisconsin System with the board holding its first contested election in nearly a decade.
Appointees of former Republican Gov. Scott Walker led the 18-member board for the past six years, but the political balance tipped this month when Democratic Gov. Tony Evers announced his newest regent picks. The board now includes nine Evers appointees, seven Walker appointees, the state superintendent and the Wisconsin Technical College System board president.
After the story has quote after quote of liberals bemoaning the influence of politics in the Regents, we get this little reminder:
There’s always been an element of political influence looming over the Regents by the very nature of their appointment and confirmation process.
In one of the most brazen examples, the Democratic-controlled Senate in the early 2000’s bottled up then-Republican Gov. Tommy Thompson’s regent nominations for so long that, after he left to become secretary of U.S. Health and Human Services, the picks remained held up for the entirety of his successor’s two-year tenure. When Doyle was elected, he withdrew the Republican appointees and then replaced them with his own.
Chicken Wings “No Longer Commercially Viable”
by Owen | 1349, 30 May 21 | Education | 5 Comments
A New Hampshire restaurateur has apologized to customers for putting prices up after the cost of basic items like oil, meat and gloves rose by as much as 300%.
Alan Natkiel, the owner of Georgia’s Northside in Concord, says the price of brisket has gone up 185%, chicken breast is up 70%, and fryer oil costs have doubled in the past three months, while plastic gloves were three times as expensive as pre-pandemic prices.
Natkiel says the surge in prices has even forced him to stop serving chicken wings as a national shortage has made them so pricey they were no longer commercially viable.
Continuing supply chain disruptions from the pandemic are causing shortages in key fresh food and produce areas.
And a chronic labor shortage is placing added pressure on restaurants.
(hint: it’s not just supply chain issues causing the price increases)
On a side note, I hate the word “eatery.” The proper work for an establishment where they serve food in exchange for money is a “restaurant.”
Legislature Moves to Ends UW Tuition Freeze
by Owen | 0833, 28 May 21 | Education, Politics - Wisconsin | 1 Comment
Interesting… so the Democrats all voted to keep tuition frozen at UW.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Legislature’s Republican-led budget committee voted Thursday to end a University of Wisconsin tuition freeze that has been in place for eight years and has long been a GOP priority that had bipartisan support.
Democratic Gov. Tony Evers proposed, and the university supported, extending the tuition freeze for another two years, along with spending $192 million more on the UW System.
But the budget-writing Joint Finance Committee went in a different direction Thursday, voting to end the tuition freeze and adding just $8.25 million in state funding for UW, $9.5 million for technical colleges and $5 million for a nurse education program for students at both private and public colleges and universities in the state.
All 11 Republicans voted to end the freeze, while all four Democrats voted to keep it.
I’m dubious, but I see what they are doing. The legislature is increasing taxpayer funding to UW, but slowly enough that it is continuing the trend of reducing the percentage of taxpayer support in the UW budget. At the same time, they are lifting the tuition freeze to allow them to get more funding that way. The market will regulate increases, in theory, but the higher education market is warped by easy borrowed money from the government.
Still, if I am to choose between the taxpayers or the tuition payers supporting UW spending, I’d rather it be the tuition payers.
Legislature Considers Flat Funding for K-12
by Owen | 1354, 26 May 21 | Education, Politics - Wisconsin | 2 Comments
MADISON – The president of the Wisconsin Senate doesn’t want to increase general aid for schools in the next two years because they have received billions of dollars in federal aid since 2020.
“I think we’re good for right now,” Senate President Chris Kapenga said in an interview Tuesday. “My gut is there’s not going to be a big push in the caucus to increase funding.”
[…]
Wisconsin schools are receiving an extra $2.6 billion in federal aid because of the pandemic. Congress approved that funding in a series of bills starting a year ago.
That funding comes on top of $12.6 billion that Wisconsin schools received this school year through state aid, federal aid, property taxes and other sources, according to the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau.
According to a 2020 Wisconsin Policy Forum report, Wisconsin lags the nation in K-12 spending increases. Between 2013 and 2018, Wisconsin’s spending increased by 11%, while nationwide the increase was close to 18%.
Kapenga said the additional federal aid means the Legislature doesn’t need to allocate extra state money in the next two years for general aid.
School districts are flush with federal cash right now. Why should the state taxpayers spend even more on them?
I would go further and advocate that we reduce spending on K-12 education for the simple fact that we have fewer students to educate. Why do we continue to increase spending when there are fewer and fewer kids? I understand that it isn’t a direct linear equation, but at some point, we need to spend less.
In 2000, Wisconsin’s government school enrollment was 877,713 students; 871,550 in 2010; 829,935 in 2020. If the schools are educating 41,615 fewer kids than they were just ten years ago, why aren’t costs going down? That’s like six West Bend School Districts that we don’t need anymore. The kids aren’t there.
Keeping spending flat is generous. We should be reducing it.
West Bend School District Lifts Mask Mandate
by Owen | 0727, 26 May 21 | Culture, Education | 0 Comments
WEST BEND — Beginning today, face coverings will be made optional, but highly recommended, for all West Bend School District staff members and students.
Now let’s hope that there isn’t any bullying against people for whatever choice they make about wearing a mask.
Appleton School District Considering Renaming Lincoln Elementary
by Owen | 2132, 25 May 21 | Culture, Education, Politics | 0 Comments
Hmmm…
APPLETON – Residents of the Appleton Area School District will get their chance this week to provide feedback on the proposal to rename Lincoln Elementary in honor of Ron Dunlap.
[…]
The vision, written at the top of the survey, is: “Working together, students, family, staff and community will ensure that each graduate is academically, socially and emotionally prepared for success in life. Every Student Every Day.”
And, the survey says: “An important factor in pursuing this vision is the environment in which students learn. Students learn best when they are challenged and feel supported, welcomed and respected.”
Eggert questioned why the survey would include the district’s vision statement, saying the proposal to rename Lincoln Elementary stems from a community effort to honor Dunlap after his 2019 death.
Dunlap, who was named one of the most influential African Americans in the state, dedicated nearly four decades of his life to public education. Because Dunlap spent 16 years as principal of Lincoln Elementary before becoming the district’s first coordinator of minority services, the district-organized team landed on the proposal to change Lincoln’s name to the “Ronald C. Dunlap Elementary School, Home of the Lincoln Lions.”
Motives matter. If the district wants to rename a school to honor a local leader who made great contributions to the community, then that’s outstanding. Districts can rename schools (although, they must be flush with cash to spend money on something relatively trivial) at their discretion. If they want to honor a modern local leader instead of an old president from Illinois, then cool.
If they are renaming the school to send the message that Lincoln is not worthy of being honored and want to replace him with a token local leader as an excuse, then it indicates a much larger problem with the district. I hope some parents get to the bottom of what’s going on in their district.
New York Goes Back to School

Scores of Schools Drop Mask Mandate
by Owen | 1958, 17 May 21 | Education, Politics - Wisconsin | 1 Comment
Excellent. Stop abusing the kids.
Dozens of school districts across the state have done away with mask requirements despite the latest CDC guidance saying masks should be worn in classrooms due to low vaccination rates among children.
[…]
Over the weekend, about 75 parents protested the Mequon-Thiensville School District’s mask mandate. Parents said they want the district to join a list of nearly 50 public school districts in Wisconsin that have either done away with masks in classrooms, or plan to do so for summer school. This includes school districts in Waukesha, Mukwonago and Cedarburg.
[…]
“We still have young children below the age of 12 who can’t yet get vaccinated, we have older children 12 and up who have only just become eligible, and so we need some time to make sure we can get all of those kids vaccinated,” she said.
Since the start of the pandemic, more than 15,000 kids in Milwaukee County have tested positive for the virus, according to county data. 236 children were hospitalized, and one child died.
Assembly Passes Expansion of School Choice
by Owen | 2116, 11 May 21 | Education, Politics - Wisconsin | 2 Comments
I wish there was any hope of this making it into law, but there isn’t. It’s such a shame. After so many public school abandoned education during the pandemic, we owe it to families to provide more options. Our goal should be to fund education – not prop up failing government institutions.
The Assembly passed in a 60-36 vote a bill that would qualify more students for school vouchers.
The bill, now in the Senate, would change the income cap from 220 percent of the federal poverty level to 300 percent for families who want to enroll in the Wisconsin Parental Choice Program. That means the most that a family of four could earn would increase from $57,640 to $78,600 or $85,600 for a married couple.
Rep. Barbara Dittrich, R-Oconomowoc, said families are looking for more school options now than ever before because the pandemic has highlighted existing issues within public schools. She said this bill would give them more options for their kids.
Cultural erosion of individualism is destroying our way of life
by Owen | 0715, 11 May 21 | Culture, Education, Politics, Politics - Wisconsin | 11 Comments
My column for the Washington County Daily News is online and in print. Here’s a taste:
If the busybodies and bullies were only making noise, it would be annoying, but tolerable. What makes them intolerable is when they impose their views on everyone else with the power of government. When the neighborhood bully gains power over you through government, we walk the path that ends in tyranny.
Somewhere along the way, “live and let live,” and its more ornery cousin, “none of your business,” stopped being part of the American culture. The cultural shift away from individual rights and responsibilities is corrosive to our way of life. The cultural rot that infects proms and vaccines is part of a larger infection that is running rampant through our society and government. We must reverse the shift by being intentional about respecting individuals, their choices, and their rights.
If you are wondering if I have been vaccinated, it is none of your business.
No More Snow Days

I was wondering if this would happen.
Snow days have been cancelled for public schools in New York City, with students now expected to continue their classes from home.
Snow days see schools and similar institutions close when there is heavy snowfall or other extreme weather.
Authorities say students successfully managed the move to remote learning during lockdowns, and the days off will not continue in the new school year.
Northwestern Mutual CEO Supports Education
by Owen | 0902, 4 May 21 | Education, Politics - Wisconsin | 1 Comment
Milwaukee (and Wisconsin) needs more leaders to speak out like this.
In a rebuke of Milwaukee Public Schools, Northwestern Mutual chief executive officer John Schlifske said the Milwaukee-based life insurance company is giving $750,000 to support charter and private schools in the city.
Schlifske announced the donation in an op-ed published in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, in which he criticized the underperformance of MPS schools, and its school board and Milwaukee Teachers Education Association’s efforts to “undermine” one of the district’s successful charter schools networks, Milwaukee College Prep.
MCP, which operates four campuses and has 2,000 students, announced it would cut ties with MPS following a financial dispute with the district and plans to join the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee as its charter authorizer.
Schlifske blamed MPS for not working to retain MCP, saying the district wants to “eliminate the competition” with a charter school.
“Northwestern Mutual is the largest single property taxpayer in the city, and we are proud to invest in our corporate hometown. We support and invest in high-quality schools. But as a stakeholder, we just don’t see decisions being made to optimize student success at MPS,” Schlifske wrote.
Germantown Schools to Promote Critical Race Theory in Classrooms
by Owen | 0722, 27 Apr 21 | Education, Politics - Wisconsin | 3 Comments
Germantown schools are officially off the rails.
On April 12, the Germantown School Board voted unanimously to remove CRT from curriculum in all Germantown schools. On Monday night, the School Board rescinded that action and so allowed inclusion of CRT, after more than two hours of public comment and presentations from staff. Michael Loth dissented.
“During the past two weeks, we have learned a lot about CRT and we are grateful for that,” School Board President Bob Soderberg said. He apologized to the public that the CRT matter had not been discussed more openly before the vote two weeks ago.
Germantown Superintendent Brett Stousland recommended the original action be rescinded, during a brief staff presentation to the board on Critical Race Theory.
“One of the tasks was how it’s used, where it’s used, when it’s used (in Germantown),” Stousland said.
Stousland said that on review of Germantown coursework, CRT is only specifically mentioned in two classes, both of which are high-level high school courses. He said in those courses, CRT is taught as one lens — a perspective through which society can be viewed — as feminism, economic, Marxist, psychoanalytic and other lenses are also taught.
Director of Teaching and Learning Brenda O’Brien said CRT is a lens for viewing racial inequalities in history and society. In discussion with teachers over the past two weeks, she said some expressed concerns that if all forms of CRT were banned, it could lead to any teaching about incarceration statistics, Jim Crow law, voting laws, segregation and other historical and current events being labeled CRT and therefor disallowed.
“To disallow this exploration would create a stunted, grossly incomplete study of history,” Germantown High School Social Studies teacher John Whitehead said.
I wouldn’t allow this teacher anywhere near my kids. He isn’t teaching. He’s indoctrinating.
Student Performance Plummets
by Owen | 1020, 19 Apr 21 | Education, Politics - Wisconsin | 4 Comments
First, note how hard it was for the reporters to get answers. Second, remember that these districts have also been shifting measurements so comparisons are skewed more positive than they actually are. Even with that… this is bad… really bad. Fox 6 did an excellent job and has a great interactive map with detailed background data that I encourage you to explore.
FOX6 started asking Milwaukee Public Schools for student performance records in January. The records the district eventually provided say the data was collected in February, but MPS did not turn the numbers over until April 1 – the night before spring break, one week after the school board voted on an in-person learning plan.
The data shows a jump in high school students failing one or more classes, from 46 percent pre-pandemic to 55.9 percent last semester.
The district said it could not locate records with GPA data from previous years; no one responded to FOX6’s repeated interview requests.
During a virtual press conference about reopening school buildings, Superintendent Dr. Keith Posley briefly answered a few FOX6 questions about the student performance data.
“I will say to you that this has been something that has happened around the country and I think that it’s been due to the shift to virtual learning and trying to meet the needs of all of our students,” Dr. Posley said. “That is something that we do have to address as a district.”
Wauwatosa’s records show a jump from 9.22% of middle and high school students failing one or more classes in the first semester of the 2019-2020 school year to 17.46% in the first semester of 2020-2021. Average GPA fell from 3.02 to 2.83.
Wisconsin needs fair funding for government schools
by Owen | 0816, 15 Apr 21 | Education, Politics - Wisconsin | 0 Comments
Here is my full column that ran earlier in the week in the Washington County Daily News.
There is another wave of borrowed money gushing out of Washington. The latest round of purposefully wasteful spending ushered in by Democrats includes over $2.2 billion for Wisconsin’s government schools. The distribution of these funds illustrates the folly of government and offers state lawmakers an opportunity to prove that they are smarter and fairer than those in Washington.
The American Rescue Plan Act is the official name for the stimulus bill that passed in March without a single Republican vote. The bill transfers our grandchildren’s wealth into our own pockets in a variety of ways including direct payments to current citizens, more welfare, and, of course, mountains of money for state and local governments.
The law was sold to the American citizens as vitally important to repair the economic damage done by the pandemic and backfill the budgets of state and local governments for expenses related to the pandemic. When the Democrats wrote the bill, however, the distribution mechanisms they included bear very little relationship to the pandemic. Stimulus checks are going to prisoners and people who do not need it. Billions of dollars are being spent to incentivize unemployment. And, of course, money sent to governments irrespective of how they handled the pandemic.
In the case of Wisconsin’s schools, federal law dictates that 90% of the money being sent to local government school districts must be distributed according to the same formula used to distribute Title 1 Part A funds. Title 1 Part A funds are distributed according to the number of low-income students in each district. In other words, the distribution of the so-called “rescue plan” money has absolutely no relationship to the pandemic. It is being distributed based on the rules from a law passed 56 years ago.
The actual numbers illustrate the magnitude of the disconnect. For example, the Milwaukee Public School District is to receive a whopping $798 million, or $11,242 per student. That is nearly an entire year’s budget coming in a single windfall for the district. Meanwhile, the neighboring Waukesha Public School District, for example, is receiving about $17 million, or $1,366 per student.
These two school districts had very different responses to the pandemic. The Waukesha district has been providing some form of in-person instruction since October — well after the evidence was clear that it could be done safely. Meanwhile, Milwaukee Public Schools remain closed with a meager plan to partially open in the waning days of the school year.
It is markedly unfair that the Milwaukee Public Schools are being rewarded with a windfall for locking out their students for over a year while so many other districts, like Waukesha, are given crumbs despite working hard to educate kids. Which district incurred more real cost to educate during a pandemic? Which district chose to educate instead of agitate?
As the Legislature crafts the next state budget, they must consider the federal funds just allocated to school districts and other local governments. They must begin with the recognition that it is utterly implausible that government school districts throughout the state suffered an aggregate $2.2 billion budget deficit caused by the pandemic. The federal dollars being issued are far in excess of any actual damages suffered and some districts are able to use their federal money to fund their wish lists.
Beyond the total budget amount, the nonsensical way in which federal funds were allocated invites the Legislature to reallocate state funding to try to make it fairer. For example, the state budget could cut $500 million from the Milwaukee Public Schools and use the money to fund rural and suburban districts throughout the state. Those districts could then fund initiatives like broadband for rural students, technology upgrades, tutors to help kids who have fallen behind with distance learning, and mental health services. Even after reallocating $500 million from the Milwaukee public school district, they have almost $300 million in surplus federal funds to spend in addition to their normal budget.
State lawmakers have a real opportunity to ensure fairness in funding for all of Wisconsin’s government schools. This is not a time to merely pour money through the same budgetary formulas. This is a time to fight for the education of all of Wisconsin’s kids.
Schools Take Different Approaches
by Owen | 2114, 13 Apr 21 | Education, Politics - Wisconsin | 1 Comment
One.
Laona, Three Lakes and Crandon school districts all stopped requiring masks following the state Supreme Court ruling.
Now wearing a face covering in their classrooms is optional.
In a statement released Thursday, Three Lakes School District said the decision to not mandate masks in school was one of a number of difficult decisions it had to make this year.
“We are working through these complex issues as a district, and our greatest desire is to have a healthy and happy Bluejay family as we transition toward a more normal school year in Fall 2021,” the statement said.
Two.
MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee Public Schools teachers and staff finally made their way back into school on Monday.
Inside of a classroom at Longfellow School, plexiglass and dividers were put up to help slow the spread of COVID-19.
“It’s been a whirlwind of preparation for us,” said Tyrone Nichols, principal of Cass Street School.
Some enterprising reporter should follow up in a few weeks and see what the results are in terms of viral infections, educational performance, student mental health, and other important measures. Which district is doing it right?

Another Teacher Rants at Kids on Zoom
by Owen | 0822, 12 Apr 21 | Education, Politics | 5 Comments
Can you really claim to be a professional if you behave this way?
‘If your parent wants to talk to me about their profession and their opinion on their profession, I would love to hear that,’ she says.
‘However, if your parent wants to come talk to me about how I’m not doing a good enough job in distance learning based on what you need as an individual?
‘Just dare them to come at me.
‘Because I am so sick to my stomach of parents trying to tell educators how to do their job.’
Far too many of these government teachers and administrators feel absolutely no accountability or responsibility to the communities they serve. They are offended that parents and other school stakeholders even have an opinion about how our schools operate.
The really troubling part of this is that this kind of ranting and unprofessional behavior has likely been going on in our schools for years – DECADES. The only reason it is a story now is because the “teaching” is happening virtually and can be recorded and viewed by someone other than the kids. We should be extremely worried about what happens behind closed doors in our schools.
Perhaps it’s time for teachers to wear body cameras? Or, at least, a camera with audio in every classroom? It would be pretty easy to archive footage to protect both teachers and students when there is an accusation of wrongdoing.
