This week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published a study that proves what we have known all along: it is possible to safely educate children in-person. I am proud that Kimberly Area School District has led the way in our area with in-person learning, along with an online option. With the proper precautions in place, we can safely educate our children so they can have a bright future.

I am disappointed with UW Madison professor, Sami Schalk, who took to Twitter to promote hatred and write profanities directed at numerous of my legislative colleagues. I believe this behavior sets a poor example, and I certainly would expect more from a UW Professor making a six-figure salary.
According to an Empower Wisconsin article, "Schalk tweeted the F-bomb to 27 lawmakers “for trying to end the mask mandate.” The Gender & Women’s Studies professor had to issue a slight correction on her first tweet, which she said was directed at 27 Republican state senators. She included Republican Assembly members, too. No matter, Schalk had plenty of profanity-laced vitriol to go around.
