Eau Claire school board members are saying No to a push to teach ‘voter education’ as part of the regular lesson plan.
The school board on Monday rejected a resolution being pushed by the Wisconsin Association of School Boards that would add voter education classes as part of a ‘well-rounded education.’ Board member Marquell Johnson says some parents may see teaching voter education as indoctrinating students. The Association of School Boards has a long list of resolutions it wants to see local school boards adopt, including one that would ask lawmakers for a state-funded free school lunch program in Wisconsin.
