Is that a good deal for the taxpayers of Wisconsin? You know, taxpayers of Wisconsin have always been willing to fund education. We believe in that. It goes back to the origins of our state. But now we're up to $18,000 per student in the state as a whole, $23,000 in Milwaukee, and the results are not there. And a lot of that's driven, I believe, by the Department of Public Instruction that has become more focused on social engineering rather than educating children. (01:22–01:32)
