The United States Supreme Court issued a 7-2 decision reversing the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s selection of Governor Tony Evers’s legislative maps. The per curiam decision said, “We agree that the court committed legal error in its application of decisions of this Court regarding the relationship between the constitutional guarantee of equal protection and the VRA.”

📺 WILL President, Rick Esenberg, joined UPFRONT on WISN12 to discuss the decision and next steps.

WILL filed a petition for writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court in St. Augustine v. Underly, urging the high court to review whether the Wisconsin Superintendent of Public Instruction violated the First Amendment when it withheld transportation benefits from an independent Catholic school unless it agreed not to call itself “Catholic.” The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals issued a decision in December that DPI violated the law, but did not resolve the core constitutional questions of religious liberty at stake in the case.

The most recent legislative session featured promising new education reforms. But the debate over legislation to expand parental choice to all Wisconsin students featured myths, lies, tall tales, and falsehoods. WILL Research Director, Will Flanders, and Nicholas Kelly, President of School Choice Wisconsin, addressed the biggest whoppers to ensure that this important debate isn’t distracted by unfounded claims.
