If You Build It, They Will Teach: Eliminating Barriers to Teacher Education in Wisconsin

February 3, 2024

We all knew it was coming, but we didn’t prepare. We allowed the epidemic to get to crisis levels. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the problem. Act 10 didn’t help.

Maps Under New Management: The Road to Electoral Equity Continues

January 6, 2024

“Experience is a good teacher, it takes someone like me to know…” the opening line of Miki Howard’s classic ballad, “Love Under New Management” recently popped into my head when thinking about the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s recent ruling on redistricting. For many liberals the court’s decision signaled Christmas come early, for me, it was a […]

No, You Can’t Divorce Race from America

October 28, 2023

By LaKeshia N. Myersv An interesting conversation took place in the Assembly Committee on Colleges and Universities this week, when the Minority Teacher Loan Program was debated.

Dear America, Its Time we Talk About Israel & Palestine

October 14, 2023

There is no question that terrorism—whether foreign or domestic—are events that rock the world and are blatant displays of bravado that hurt innocent people. As Americans, we live (for the most part) without fear of terror threats. We […]
