MADISON, Wis. (Wheeler News Service) — The Wisconsin Parents Association is offering some criticism for the way Wisconsin lawmakers have approved a motion letting private, home-schooled and online charter students take part in public school athletics and activities.
W-P-A Executive Director Larry Kaseman points out the late addition was made in what he calls a “sneaky” fashion, passing it without any discussion at 1:30 a-m. The bill’s sponsor, State Representative Bob Kulp, had reached out last February to see how the association would feel about the change. Kaseman told the Stratford Republican his group would oppose it because it could lead to increased government controls on home-schooled students, something those parents do not want. The change was passed anyway.
