For over 40 years, I taught the principles of American Democracy in high school classrooms. Today the Wisconsin Legislature is considering a bill to require civics education to graduate from high school. I invited Wisconsin Administration Secretary Joel Brennan to visit the Milton House Museum, which was a stop on the Underground Railroad that helped enslaved people escape to non-slavery states. I had the great privilege of introducing three Hometown Heroes to my colleagues in the State Assembly.
