As Sunny said, this 250th celebration is a partisan event. Full stop. #TheView

The superintendents of Wisconsin's "Big 5" districts (Milwaukee, Madison, Racine, Kenosha, Green Bay) want the Legislature to reconvene and take up strictly the $300M in special education funding from the failed Evers-GOP surplus deal.

"That's still real money to kids this year"

@compujeramey Full names, so you know who it was actually named after. I guess Juneau, Jackson, & Van Buren worked because those were presidents and city fathers.

[LaKeshia Myers @RepMyers]

@GhaleonQ Yep. Ending the K-8 model is essential and returning to traditional middle schools would certainly help.

@SarahforWI All that’s missing is the money green jacket from your #treasurer days! #realleadership

[LaKeshia Myers @RepMyers]

@CorriHess I predicted this a few years ago. Folks are tired of being taxed twice for education. I just hope those that live in GOP represented districts hold their lawmakers accountable.

Five seconds into @RHOP_ and soror @WendyOsefo walks through the door fly to death with her fur!

@AJBayatpour This is a good first step!

EDUCATORS WILL SET SCHOOL REPORT CARD "STAR RATINGS" THIS AUGUST!

As with the Forward/PreACT/ACT, educators will decide where the benchmarks are. We currently overrate; despite our national performance, only 17% of schools and 7% of districts are 1 or 2 stars.

REGISTER BELOW.

@BlkCathStories in my whole non-Catholic opinion…Cardinal Gregory would be an AMAZING pope. Or I’m going to need one of the cardinals from Africa to be considered #ItsTime

@jamesjonesesq True. But Never mind that that is CLEARLY @AudraEqualityMc who is also a highly regarded actress that is headlining on Broadway currently…when will they learn all Black people don’t look alike🤦🏾‍♀️

There is a culture and industry focused on getting kids to 'calm down', instead of teaching them. This topic needs to be elevated.

A man who literally gave his life for the betterment of his country was erased on the word of a feckless human being that refused to serve. Utterly despicable. Whitewashing at its finest. #RememberMedgar #AlwaysAlcorn

[Jerry Mitchell @JMitchellNews]

World War II veteran Medgar Evers, whom President Trump called “a great American hero,” has been erased from the Arlington National Cemetery website, which featured a section honoring Black Americans who fought in the nation’s wars.

The U.S. Army purged the section that had lauded the late Army sergeant and civil rights leader, who was assassinated by a white supremacist in Jackson in 1963. The decision to erase Evers came after an executive order by Trump to eliminate all Diversity, Equality and Inclusion programs.

Former Mississippi Supreme Court Justice Reuben Anderson, who gave Trump a 2017 tour of the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum, said he can’t imagine the president would want Evers removed. “That’s got to be a mistake,” he said. “That involves a great American who served in the military and was one of the most courageous Americans of all time.”

The White House could not be reached for comment.

Evers is far from the only war veteran whose name has been struck from the website. So was Army Maj. Gen. Charles Calvin Rogers, who was awarded the Medal of Honor in the Vietnam War.

“He got shot three times in Vietnam and survived,” said U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson. “History has not been kind to minorities, whether women, people of color or religious groups. Part of what we do in the greatest democracy known to man is to correct the record.”

@marclamonthill Precisely. I feel this same way about the confederate flag.

[LaKeshia Myers @RepMyers]

Not shocking at all. This has been echoed for many years. And I believe there should be authoritative oversight by @GovEvers, @WisconsinDPI.

[A.J. Bayatpour @AJBayatpour]

An audit of Milwaukee Public Schools ordered by Gov. Evers found a "culture of fear" in the district and a resistance to meaningful change. With overlapping jobs and lots of moving parts, it calls for an organizational overhaul:

@BerniceKing I wonder what the @ADL will say about this? They’ve been eerily silent on calling out Elon or anybody else.
