Evers--when you come down to it--is a jerk. He's also a vicious partisan when it comes to education.
A federal appeals court has ruled that Wisconsin's Department of Instruction was wrong in denying transportation to an independent Catholic school in Hartland because it already bused students from a Catholic school sponsored by the Milwaukee Archdiocese....
...St. Augustine School is a Catholic school that moved to Colgate for the 2021-22 school year and not affiliated with the archdiocese; St. Gabriel High School in the same area is run by the archdiocese. Both schools were in the Friess Lake School District until 2018, when Friess Lake became part of the Holy Hill Area School District.
Court documents said the question before them was whether then state Superintendent of Public Instruction and current Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers was correct in deciding that St. Augustine School, which describes itself as an independent Catholic School unaffiliated with the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, is "affiliated with or operated by" the same sponsoring group as St. Gabriel High School, "which is run by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and therefore indisputably Catholic."
In other words, Evers decided that both schools had a single sponsoring group — the Catholic Church — and therefore St. Augustine didn't merit state-paid transportation due to St. Gabriel already receiving the transportation benefit. In the ruling filed Monday, the appeals court disagreed, essentially saying one school was sponsored by the archdiocese and one was independently sponsored. ...
Evers chose to make life difficult for St Augustine, knowing full well that the law required a different outcome. The District judge--frankly--was just as obtuse (or noxious.)
In the post below, we mentioned Dan Patrick's belief that 'the Democrats think Government is God.' Evers is a shining example.
