State Superintendent candidate Deborah Kerr update: Which begs the question, "When did she have lip reduction surgery?"

 

Wisconsin State Jounral, 

State superintendent candidate Deborah Kerr deleted her Twitter account Wednesday and apologized for a racially insensitive tweet in which she responded to a post asking people generally to recall the first time they were called the N-word. 

In a response to a tweet from Madison Payton, a New York University doctoral student and co-host of a podcast titled Race Through Education, Kerr wrote: “I was 16 in high school and white — my lips were bigger than most and that was the reference given to me.”

On the day of the election, no less.

The complaint, filed by Kerr, sought to block Hendricks-Williams from the ballot because she used “Dr.” ahead of her name on her nomination papers and because her address on the papers doesn’t match her address on her campaign registration statement.

Her report shows a $15,000 contribution from Arthur Dantchik, a conservative mega-donor from Pennsylvania who has given nearly $147,000 to Republican candidates in Wisconsin over the past decade, according to the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign.

Of Dantchik's 124 donations totalling $161,750, nearly one-third has been payable to:

• Committee to Elect a Republican Senate ($19,000)
• Republican Assembly Campaign Committee ($17,500)
• Scott Walker ($16,000)

Kerr’s opponents say she’s being disingenuous by calling herself a Democrat, citing her support for the private school voucher program. That program is often a litmus test in the state superintendent race and a priority program for Republicans who have expanded it over the past decade. 

“She can try to have it both ways, but the fact is that she’s the anti-public education candidate in this race,” said Sachin Chheda, adviser to Jill Underly, the most vocal critic of the voucher program in the race.

Apparently, Deborah Kerr is the hypocrite in the race.
