Wisconsin educators speak out on Project 2025 on World Teacher’s Day
GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) - Educators across Wisconsin are using World Teacher’s Day to bring attention to “Project 2025″ and how it could impact children’s education across the country.
Those educators joined elected officials and community leaders today in cities across Wisconsin, highlighting the Harris-Walz campaign’s fight to strengthen public education and working to educate the public on what they say is a very real threat to cut federal funding.
Those we spoke with say although it’s not an easy conversation to have, it is necessary if we wish to continue protecting what we value most: our children, and their ability to make it in the real world.
“I think they’re difficult conversations. They’re very difficult, but if we open ourselves to the discomfort, we can help people to see that democracy is what we all rely on,” said Ellie Hinz-Radue, a teacher at Green Bay West High School.
The Wisconsin GOP and chairman Brian Schimming released a statement about the campaign on Saturday: “While Democrats peddle lies and falsehoods about Donald Trump and Project 2025—an initiative that Trump has consistently condemned—Wisconsin Republicans are focused on lowering costs for working families, expanding school choice, and securing the border. These are the issues that matter to the millions of Wisconsinites who will decide this election.”
