2/2 ...in Waukesha with a long list of public events that lead up to my tweet. For years, many of us listened to each other share personal stories and plead with the board to reconsider their harmful policies. You can read it all here:

1/2 Monday I filed a federal lawsuit. There’s a reason that my original tweet ended with “when will it end?” and I am proud that my legal team detailed the work of many dedicated students, parents and community members gofund.me/20955f73

I heard The Chicks play Rainbowland on their tour. I tried to buy tix for the Madison show but got an error message. Anyone know what’s up?

“This was about inclusivity, balance, acceptance and being true to yourself,' said Rinderle. Now Katie may have to wait up to 5 days to find out what the decision is and the school board can choose to accept or reject that decision anyway.

“PragerU Kids’ anti-anti-racism project includes a predictable deradicalization of Martin Luther King Jr.” If you’re not enraged, you’re not paying attention!!!!!
