“Wisconsin was in a pretty good place in our battle against COVID-19. We had reached almost all our gating criteria. On Monday we had opened up 14,000 small businesses across the state, putting potentially 90,000 folks back to work in that industry,” Evers said during a coronavirus press conference. “Despite that good work by Wisconsinites across our state – who banded together, stayed home and stayed safe – Republican legislators have convinced four of our Supreme Court Justices to throw our state into chaos,” Evers said, echoing comments he made in a statement to Newsweek Wednesday....

Professors who spoke to Newsweek said they teach different works written by Crucet, but credited her voice as being one to which students can relate. Their students saw themselves in the characters in her books, which largely deal with challenges minorities face and living in America as a non-white person, they said. “The book burning that happened at Georgia Southern was an act of racism and white privilege–to see it otherwise only further illustrates a point Crucet’s book makes: the U....
