Brittney Kinser “Education Matters” (Hour 1)
Brittany Kinser participates on the Earl Ingram Show to discuss her candidacy for the position of state superintendent. As the founder of "95 Wisconsin," an initiative aimed at ensuring that 95% of children attain reading proficiency, she addressed the pressing reading crisis in Milwaukee. During the interview, Kinser emphasized the critical need to focus on children's education and enhance reading programs. She pointed out the negative consequences of discontinuing phonics instruction in schools, which has led to significant reading difficulties among students. Currently, only 30% of children are proficient in reading, a decline attributed to the removal of the phonics program, leaving 70% unable to read. In response to questions about the priorities of children compared to those of the teachers' union, Kinser indicated her intention to emulate the approach of County Executive David Crowley and others. She also showcased her support alongside Brad Schimmel and reaffirmed her dedication to working collaboratively with the teachers' union, parents, and children. Ms. Kinser stated that her counter part Dr. Underly lowered the standards for kids to appear smarter when in actuality it's hurting the children, because they aren't getting the resources to learn correctly.
