All Eyes on Kenosha
From Lifesite News:
"Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) is calling for a Department of Justice investigation into who could be bankrolling the riots erupting across the United States.
"'The Justice Department needs to open an investigation into who is funding these violent riots,' Buck tweeted Sunday, and again on Monday.
"Buck is backing a similar call by Republican Senator Rand Paul who, along with his wife, was attacked by a mob after leaving the Republican National Convention Friday.
...
"Who are these people? Who paid for their hotel rooms? Who flew them in? Law enforcement needs to look at the funding of violent criminal activity like this," Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) wrote after he and his wife narrowly escaped a violent leftist mob Friday as they left the RNC (Republican National Convention)." Read more HERE.
Julaine Appling, WFA president, responds, "With the eyes of the nation now focused on Wisconsin because of the Kenosha incident, it is very important that Wisconsin citizens understand that these riots are organized and funded; they are not happening spontaneously as the leaders of them would like us to believe. I'm thankful some federal elected officials are beginning to demand some investigation into who is funding these destructive events."

The Human Trafficking Fight
How much progress have we made?
People aren’t products, bodies aren’t commodities, and yet many people in the world consume them as such—and this same principle of supply and demand applies. The demand for sex trafficking is fueled by porn consumption. And since the U.S. consumes more porn than any country in the world, it’s no wonder sex trafficking is a growing problem.

"  Wisconsin is certainly not immune to sex trafficking and that's why we work hard to sound the warning often to parents to take precautions to safeguard their children in particular," says Julaine Appling, WFA president. "Frequent monitoring of internet and social media access and use is imperative, but so is age-appropriate straight talk about why the pornography is so dangerous and about its involvement in the heinous activity of sex trafficking."
Private Schools Fighting Back
From MacIver Institute:
 "Everything was good to go for private and religious schools to hold in-person instruction this fall throughout Dane County. After spending thousands of dollars and countless staff hours, the schools had met all the county’s requirements for coronavirus mitigation. Then the county changed its mind.
"Friday evening on Aug. 21st, the county health department notified the schools that they could not reopen – even though some of them were scheduled to begin class that Monday morning.
"St. Ambrose Academy, a Catholic junior and senior high school in Madison, is leading the legal fight against Dane County. Its Enrollment and Learning Services Director, Angela Hineline, tells the MacIver Institute about its fight. Listen to the podcast HERE."
In addition, late last week, Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty filed a lawsuit against Madison/Dane County on behalf of numerous private schools, a private school organization and a number of parents with children in private schools located in Dane County. The lawsuit alleges the city/county official has no authority to prohibit these private schools from offering in-person instruction for grades 3-8, contrary to the order given on August 21. Read more about this lawsuit HERE.
