2022 WI Governor's race: on Education


Tim Michels: Favors competition, taxpayer-supported vouchers

Michels wants families to have more choice in education and favors taxpayer-supported vouchers. "Competition is what makes our business better. We compete fiercely with our competitors--that's what makes us a better company. I think if there's competition in the education system, the same thing will happen. Parents will have a right to choose."

He will fight to preserve education and stop the indoctrination.

Rebecca Kleefisch: Claimed cultural responsive teaching is critical race theory

Kleefisch released a video accusing state education officials of promoting critical race theory at a professional development conference. The sessions are about culturally responsive teaching, which has been incorporated in teaching for years to ensure the backgrounds of all students are acknowledged in lessons. Kleefisch did not take the video down after learning the session's "CRT" did not refer to critical race theory. Instead, Kleefisch accused the educators without evidence of a cover up.
