Teaching public school students and training employees about concepts such as systemic racism and implicit bias would be banned under legislation Republicans passed in the state Assembly Tuesday.
GOP lawmakers also approved a bill, 61-37, that would create a statewide civics curriculum that all Wisconsin public and private schools would have to follow. The measure would require all public school students to take at least a half credit in civics education in order to graduate.
Rep. Sylvia Ortiz-Velez, D-Milwaukee, joined Republicans in favor of the civics bill.
The first measure, which would prohibit teaching concepts under the rubric of critical race theory, began circulating in the state Legislature this summer amid a nationwide push by conservatives to police how teachers talk about race in the classroom. The theory asserts that racism is ingrained in the nations social structures and policies.

Then, it was a union town, with a lot of blue collar Democrats.
Now it is a hellhole filled with right wing racist dickheads. I have cut off contact now with everyone I know there. They are just awful. The few people from there who I am in contact with moved elsewhere.
Ironically, it was the home of robust abolitionist movement.

"The American Freeman," a newspaper for the abolition of slavery, was the first newspaper published in Waukesha in 1844. The Waukesha Freeman was also a prominent abolitionist newspaper.

Milley is supposedly "woke".
Outlawing "equity" won't fly with their corporate shareholders.
But we have known for a long time that they are stupid.
