Good!
MADISON, Wis. (AP) - University of Wisconsin System President Tommy Thompson is pushing back against Republican lawmakers who claim campuses need their permission to implement COVID-19 policies.
System schools implemented a range of protocols this month heading into the fall semester, including mask and testing mandates. Republican lawmakers responded by voting to block the system from implementing any COVID-19 policies without approval from the Legislatures GOP-controlled rules committee.
Thompson said Tuesday that the system doesnt need political approval for every internal management decision and legally controls access to its buildings and facilities.

Wisconsin was my home, so I'm happy any time any tells the GOP turdspawn shitbags in control now to go fuck themselves.
And for someone like Thomspon to say, basically, "You dudes have taken this rightwing shit waaaay the hell too far" is quite something.
