GET ME REWRITE!!!! GOP culture warriors strive to make Waukesha County Wisconsin a safe place for homophobes and transphobes

 
Headline:  Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 7/14/2023
The board’s ruling comes at a time when officials at all levels of government are debating what should be presented in schools and how members of the LGBTQ+ community should be treated in schools. 
The Waukesha School Board, like many nationwide, is technically nonpartisan — but has become increasingly partisan in recent years. 
In Waukesha, there has been heavy influence from the county Republican Party, which spun off the WisRed political action committee — a committee that spent tens of thousands on Waukesha School Board races in 2022, mainly on media and consulting. The group has not contributed to individual campaigns but has endorsed candidates in previous elections. 
District officials said Tuesday that 125 teachers resigned in summer 2022. That is more than double the 57 who resigned in 2021. As of June 16, 69 teachers have resigned so far this year. District officials said Friday that they would be able to confirm the number of resignations through mid-July on Monday.
