Questions for Kirk Bangstad

To the Editor:
This election pits Democrat Kirk Bangstad against incumbent Rob Swearingen. We are familiar with Rep. Swearingen’s views on many specific issues. Mr. Bangstad is vocal about a few issues, but he remains publicly silent about others. Therefore, we ask Mr. Bangstad to answer these questions before we vote:

1. Do you support a legislative audit of the proportion of UW professors who self-identify as Marxists, Neo-Marxists, and anarchists so that students can avoid indoctrination?

2. Do you support the organization: Black Lives Matter?

3. Do you believe Wisconsin citizens should pay for free medical care for illegal aliens?

4. Do you believe taxpayers should pay reparations to Black people?

5. Citizens are concerned about the use of communist books in K12 education. Do you support an assessment of school district curriculums to advise districts against using radical or communist educational materials like “The 1619 Project,” or Howard Zinn’s “A Peoples’ History of the United States”?
