The state party already made the Harris case into a $500,000 ad buy purchased before the race was even called, signaling the case will be a cornerstone of Republicans' strategy to beat Evers.
Republicans have argued Evers should have revoked Harris' teacher's license, but Evers has said state law wouldn't allow him to at the time Harris' case came before the Department of Public Instruction because students were not exposed to the material.
Evers and lawmakers worked to change state law to give Evers the authority to revoke teaching licenses in cases like Harris'.
A: Support. Only a parent should decide what education is best for their child, and should be free to do so with their own resources.
A: Strongly Oppose
