Letter to the editor: The sneak in Wilton

By LINDA BEIER | Wilton

I hope the “sneak” in Wilton

Is happy with their work

As they prowl the streets at night

Looking for another quirk.

I think you’ve done enough

With your insulting sidewalk chalk art,

And derogatory political signs

That caused distress to those you did impart.

But you continued on

With egging a car and a lawn

And some flat tires

That made these people frown.

Oh, you little “sneak” — don’t be surprised,

That the next time you try these things,

Your handiwork will be caught on camera 

And then YOU can expect your doorbell to ring!

    In recent years, public schools in Wisconsin and across the country have come under intense scrutiny. At issue are some of the most politically engaging, high-stakes issues of our time: what we teach children about race, gender and identity; how we police the line between free speech and anti-discrimination law; and the role of parents in shaping their children’s worldview.

    Letter to the editor: Kelly’s win in Monroe County should have been headline

    April 20th, 2023
    by

    I’m disappointed. Nowhere did I see a headline, “Dan Kelly wins Monroe County by large margin.” Which is exactly what happened: Kelly 6,369, Protasiewicz 4,970. If the opposite had happened, I think it would have been big news. Monroe County voters showed they DO value all life from conception to death.
