MADISON, Wisc. – Dr. Howard Fuller, a well-known education reformer, former Superintendent of Milwaukee Public Schools, and a Distinguished Professor Emeritus of education at Marquette University, announced his endorsement of Brittany Kinser in the race for Wisconsin State Superintendent of Public Instruction.

Dr. Fuller said, “I know well that Brittany Kinser cares deeply about children. For over a decade, I have respected her work in the Milwaukee community as a school leader and advocate for children and families. As demonstrated by her 25 years working in education as a special education teacher, principal, and non-profit CEO, her focus has always been on the needs and interests of the children. Brittany will bring her passion for learning and her ability to work with educators, students, community members, elected officials, and parents around the state to transform DPI into a place that supports schools and the work that they are doing to educate students. Wisconsin deserves new leadership at DPI. I encourage all who care about the future of our children to join me in voting for Brittany Kinser on or before Tuesday, April 1st.”

Kinser responded to the endorsement and said, “I am honored to receive the endorsement of Dr. Howard Fuller. Dr. Fuller’s bold leadership in education reform has greatly influenced my own views on education and education policy. I am grateful for his counsel and support as we work together toward a brighter future where all students can read, write, and do math, enabling them to attend college, pursue a career, or master a trade.”

I guess I respect Urban Milwaukee for printing press releases, though this one is from candidate Kinser herself and doesn’t point out that Fuller has also operated charter schools.

Brittany Kinser would be a terrible choice for DPI Superintendent. She is part of the team working to destroy public education.

Dr. Howard Fuller’s endorsement is not made in the spirit of improving public education in Wisconsin. He advocates for school choice, to divert dollars from public education. He has aligned himself with Republicans working to dismantle public education. He managed to get changes made while he was MPS Superintendent that reverberate to today and have lead to some of the current problems at MPS.

Brittany Kinser’s time at Rocketship is also controversial to say the least:
