Republican state legislators, led by Rep. Dave Murphy, Greenville, and Sen. Steve Nass, Whitewater, are threatening to withhold funding from the University of Wisconsin-Madison if it doesn’t kill the course “The Problem of Whiteness” and dismiss the professor who teaches it (Dec. 21 Tribune). I’m not surprised by this news, but I am, sadly, reminded again how little these lawmakers seem to understand about what makes a university work.
