Jill Underly, Sara Rodriguez, and Tony Evers allowed 200 cases of teacher sexual misconduct to be covered up.

• Under the watch of Democrats Jill Underly, Sara Rodriguez, and Tony Evers, over 200 cases of teacher sexual misconduct and grooming in Wisconsin schools have been shamefully covered up by the DPI, putting our children at risk.

• Wisconsin Democrats, led by silent enablers like Underly, Rodriguez, and Evers, have allowed predators to surrender licenses and evade real investigations, shielding them from public accountability.

• While Republicans like Rep. Amanda Nedweski are boldly introducing bills to criminalize grooming, set strict student-teacher communication standards, and close license surrender loopholes, Democrats do nothing but hide.

• The majority of Wisconsin Democrats remain eerily silent on the DPI's sexual misconduct cover-ups, proving they prioritize politics over protecting vulnerable kids in our classrooms.

• GOP leaders in the Senate, including John Jagler and Romaine Quinn, are demanding answers from Jill Underly on her failures, but her refusal to respond shows Democrat arrogance and indifference to child safety.

• Tony Evers and his administration have failed to comment or act on this scandal, allowing a broken system where nearly half of the investigated educators keep their licenses to potentially harm more students.

• Republicans are fighting tooth and nail to give law enforcement tools to stop grooming and abuse, while Democrats like Sara Rodriguez stood by, letting 93,000 Wisconsin kids remain at risk from educator misconduct.

• This DPI disaster under Democrat control is a betrayal of families.
