Myers When it comes to measuring student achievement or the success of a school, most people look to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction’s (DPI) school and district report cards.

Where there is Weed, there is a Way: Why Marijuana Legalization Matters

April 23, 2022

By LaKeshia N. Myers If ever there was a state that was ‘tardy for the party’, it would be Wisconsin.

Damn ‘The Man’, What About Us?

February 19, 2022

By LaKeshia N. Myers I am exhausted. Literally and figuratively, exhausted. This week has been one for the record books. It was filled with sham committee meetings for rushed, ill-prepared, politically motivated legislation in the state capitol. As election fervor draws nigh, there were discussions about ending local control for school district mask policies, attempts […]

To Sir Sidney, With Love

January 15, 2022

By LaKeshia N. Myers I remember the first time I saw Sir Sidney Poitier act in a movie. I was about 7 years old and I walked into our family room where my parents sat watching the movie, “To Sir, With Love.” I thought the movie was funny at first, because of the actors’ British […]
