Wisconsin Farmers Second Rate Citizens

Seems like Dave Hansen and Tom Nelson are against the history of Wisconsin farmers. Seems union history is more important then the history of Wisconsin agriculture and the people that built it. Maybe it's time voters send Hansen and Nelson on vacation or maybe back to school.
A good read from Ellen Bueno.

"Ellen Bueno: Democrats take unions to school

You bad Wisconsin teachers. Big labor unions are giving you dunce caps for not teaching enough about labor union history. And they plan to make you teach more about it by getting state Democrats to change our education statutes.

Right now Wisconsin Statute 118.01(2) (c) 6 says one of the goals of public education is to provide students with "Knowledge of state, national, and world history." The AFL-CIO, Teamsters Union, the United Transportation Union and others want the statute to say, "Knowledge of state, national, and world history, including knowledge of the history of organized labor in America and the collective bargaining process."

The Wisconsin Labor History Society claims, "Teaching about labor has been largely ignored in our schools. An examination of textbooks in history and the social sciences finds barely a mention about the contributions of workers and their unions in the making of our nation.""

Here's the part about Wisconsin dairy farmers.

Well, Wisconsin was also a leader in the development of dairy farming and the Republican Party. I pulled out my daughter’s high school U.S. history book, The American Pageant, to see how thoroughly it treated these groups.

It distresses me to report the textbook only has one sentence describing Wisconsin’s role in the formation of the Republican Party, saying the party sprang up in Wisconsin and Michigan as a moral protest against slavery. Nothing about the party being founded in Ripon, Wis., or the leadership of Alvan E. Bovay or other abolitionist Wisconsin Republicans. Gosh, you would think that the history of the Republican Party would be prominently taught in Wisconsin classrooms.

What’s worse, there’s nothing at all in this book about the growth of dairy farming in Wisconsin! Considering how many dairy farmers we have here, you would think that the history of dairy farming would be prominently taught in Wisconsin classrooms.

In case you would like to thank these gentleman for their lack of Wisconsin history, here is their numbers.
