Tucked into the back end of a news release highlighting 13 bills Gov. Tony Evers signed into law, a single line noted Evers also vetoed an obscure Republican-sponsored schools bill....
...Evers, who spent almost a decade as state schools superintendent, objected to how the bill addressed student records in his Nov. 21, 2019, veto message.
"Under this bill, the name of a pupil’s parents or guardians would be added to the list of categories that a public school must designate as directory data," Evers wrote. "I am vetoing this bill in its entirety because I object to implementing a mandate that will negatively impact the privacy of parents of students in Wisconsin."
In other words, he’s arguing the bill would require public release of parent names.
There’s just one problem: The bill didn’t do that....
IOW, either Evers or his staff--or both--cannot read English.
Surprised??
The issue arose because of an imminent threat to a Beaver Dam student; the school would not release the name(s) of that student's parent(s). That gives rise to the question: who is dumber? The Beaver Dam School System fuckwit, or Tokin'Tony?
I could vote for 'dumbest evah' if it was offered as a choice.
