Janesville Republican Lobbied For Teacher Walker And Friends Labeled as "Unsafe"



According to a report in the Journal Sentinel, one of the teachers Scott Walker dragged out into the public debate to hurt challenger Tony Evers had a state legislator lobby on her behalf.

The teacher, accused of sending lewd snapchats to a student, never was charged with wrongdoing after the school agency found no probable cause she had violated the "immoral conduct" clause in state law.

But that doesn't stop political party hacks from being political party hacks.

JS Online Excerpt:
"This is a damning indictment of Tony Evers’ leadership and yet another stark example of his failure to keep kids safe in our schools," said Alec Zimmerman, spokesman for the state Republican Party.

The problem with that of course is; Evers had no choice but to reinstate the teacher's license. But he did not put the teacher back in a school. That would be Rep. Amy Loudenbeck of Janesville who fought for that, IF you want to indict for the failure of keeping kids safe.

JS Online Excerpt:
What's more, a staffer for a Republican state lawmaker, Rep. Amy Loudenbeck of Clinton, lobbied Evers' staff in 2015 to hurry up the investigation so the former Beloit teacher could accept a new job. After the case was closed, she taught at a Janesville school for a year.

They say there's always more to a story.
