Wisconsin Family Action, and WILL’s client Joy Buchman are warning Governor Tony Evers and his Administration to immediately cease any enforcement of Wis. Admin. Code. § MPSW 20.02(25), a rule banning consensual, client-driven talk therapy from a perspective the government disfavors. The rule constitutes viewpoint discrimination, similar to the Colorado law recently struck down in Chiles v. Salazar.

WILL represents a group of Wisconsin taxpayers, parents, and choice schools in a motion to intervene in Wisconsin PTA v. Wisconsin State Assembly. The complaint in that case seeks to have the judiciary determine the level and distribution of funding for education in this State rather than leave those decisions to the Legislature and seeks to reduce or eliminate Wisconsin’s School Choice Programs.

New Richmond Parents for Strong Schools has filed a federal lawsuit against the New Richmond School District, alleging that its bathroom policy violates the rights of high school girls under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. WILL represents the Association—which includes both parents and female students—seeking an end to the district’s policy and a declaration that the girls’ civil rights were violated by the district’s actions.

WILL, in partnership with 50CAN, a national nonpartisan education reform nonprofit, has released a new survey of Wisconsin parents. The findings reveal continued gaps in parental awareness of school spending, some improvement in knowledge of educational options, but a surprising gap in “workforce confidence.”

WILL praised a decision by a circuit court to dismiss a lawsuit against Wisconsin’s current congressional Maps. WILL filed motions to intervene in two lawsuits seeking to overturn Wisconsin’s Congressional Maps. Seeking again to defend those maps on behalf of a group of Wisconsin voters.

WILL issued a statement in response to Governor Evers veto of AB 614 / SB 611, known as the Teacher Bill of Rights. The bill would have strengthened teachers’ authority to manage their classrooms, required parental notification when serious classroom incidents occur, and established clearer accountability so teachers can focus on teaching.
