In our last show before the holiday break, we discuss a matter right in the heart of Milwaukee where folks are fighting back against Milwaukee Area Technical College and The White House regarding the termination of four employees, the reason why it happened and why it is based in disinformation. Then, Amanda Merkwae is the Policy Director for The ACLU of Wisconsin and she is our guest to talk about a bill in the Wisconsin assembly that is raising concerns over how to protect The First Amendment on our college campuses. We discuss the history of this bill, claims of government overreach and why its lack of bipartisanship should be concerning for all it may affect.
