MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Democratic Wisconsin state lawmaker tweeted Thursday that if parents want to have a say in their child’s education they should pay for private school or home school, a message she later deleted and apologized for.
Republicans jumped over the tweet from state Rep. Lee Snodgrass, of Appleton, who is also a vice chair of the state Democratic Party.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Rebecca Kleefisch tweeted a video message recorded in her car denouncing Snodgrass’s tweet, saying “we the parents demand a say in our kids’ education and we demand it now.”
Snodgrass, in a follow up message, said she deleted the tweet “because it was lacking in nuance and easily misinterpreted. I wouldn’t want anyone to think that parents do not have a role in their child’s public education-I sure did. I encourage all parents to engage in voting for school board, join PTO and meet with teachers.”

Close the so-called “public schools” — they don’t serve the public.
Her tweet was “…lacking in nuance and easily misinterpreted.”
Same old, same old. She told the truth, got caught, and has to now go to refine and improve her “message.”
That’s what’s so nice about school vouchers - you don’t have to put up with that crap 🤪
There was no misunderstanding. It is very clear. They are full of themselves and their little bit of power has shown what tyrants they truly are. Give them a little power and this is who they become. Need to go.
Liberals just can’t keep from signaling their overweening arrogance and their inner fascist.
“they should pay “
That was a slip that this knucklehead doesn’t think taxpayer parents pay for the cost of public schools. The Easter Bunny delivers the money.
“...she deleted the tweet “because it was lacking in nuance and easily misinterpreted.”
Translation: “You are too stupid to understand me.”
Oh well he APOLOGIZED. For a dem that makes it all OK but if repubs make a mistake they must be DESTROYED.
The hidden blessing of Covid has been the way progs, leftists, and statists have all revealed their inner tyrant, and their utter contempt for anyone who disagrees with them.
The biggest mistake we ever made was allowing the government to get their stinking paws into our school systems. Along with that, we also permitted Teachers Unions to get into our classrooms.
Both mistakes can and must be rectified.
For The Children.
The Democratic state lawmaker is right, not in intent but in the world as it is and will continue to be.
Close the so-called “public schools” — they don’t serve the public.
They’re not “public schools”. They’re “Government Schools”.
Who do liberals think actually pay for public schools? The tooth fairy? Government?
Maroons!
Also, micro-schooling is starting to take off. You're going to see families networking and hiring a staff to teach their kids in their homes or rent out abandoned buildings.
“because it was lacking in nuance and easily misinterpreted.”
Probably could say the same thing about her.

Quick check out her entry on Wikipeda before it gets deleted, lol. Says she’s a communist hack.
Democrat socialist typical revisionism.
Delete, deny, dismiss, say the opposite.
P
Thank God for that.
We've had generations of Midgets and Dwarfs going through
life without any proper educations. This is why they work
in circuses and game shows and blogging.
