Repositioning Scott Walker

An editorial about Walker’s shifting stances mentions a recent paper, “The Whiteness of Wisconsin’s Wages,” by Dylan Bennett, a professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin, and Hannah Walker, a doctoral candidate in political science at the University of Washington, which argues that “Governor Walker and his allies activated the racial animus of white workers.” The piece also mentions Walker’s proposed $300 million budget cut to the UW system.
