February Debrief: School Choice in Wisconsin
PowerPoint Presentations
Our February 19 meeting lived up to its hype! Christopher Lawrence of School Choice Wisconsin and Lauren Greuel of the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty discussed a wide range of topics related to school choice in Wisconsin, including:
- Enrollment caps, accreditation, and threats to the school choice programs, including pressure to require choice schools to employ only licensed teachers. A lawsuit was filed on February 24 that focuses on the lack of state funding for public schools and alleges that the Choice program and Independent Charter programs are part of the problem.
- How the school choice program actually saves taxpayers money—and how “decoupling” the program from property taxes would benefit choice program participants as well as public school districts.
- How Wisconsin taxpayers can take advantage (in 2027) of the federal tax credit scholarship program—even if Gov. Tony Evers refuses to opt-in for Wisconsin.
Video from the hour-long meeting is available on NEW Patriots’ YouTube channel. See the links at left for the speakers’ PowerPoint presentations.
Statement Thanking Harry Wait for His Commitment to Election Integrity
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 25, 2026
Today, we thank Harry Wait for his commitment to election integrity—and for having the courage to act when others chose to stay silent.
While a jury has delivered its verdict, the larger issue remains unresolved: should citizens be punished for exposing potential weaknesses in the systems that govern them?
Harry Wait forced that question into the spotlight.
At a time when concerns about election processes are often dismissed or ignored, he took action to test the system.
Whether one agrees with his methods or not, his actions sparked a conversation that cannot be ignored.
What followed raises serious concerns.
Even after the verdict, there were efforts to keep him from speaking publicly—efforts that required the court to intervene and lift a gag order. That alone should give pause to anyone who values transparency.
More troubling is how his intent was characterized. A deliberate act meant to draw attention to a potential issue was reduced to something far less significant, stripping away the broader context entirely.
But intent matters. And so does accountability.
This case is not just about one man—it’s about whether difficult questions are allowed to be asked or quietly pushed aside.
As sentencing approaches on May 27, we encourage the public to stay informed and engaged.
Because truth doesn’t lose its importance just because it makes people uncomfortable.
We thank Harry Wait for standing up—and for refusing to back down.
