Money controls Republican Candidate for State Superintendent in what was supposed to be a nonpartisan race.

Former candidate John Humphries said the two (Lowell Holtz) met after speaking to “business leaders,” who Humphries declined to identify. Holtz said,”It’s true that a number of business people asked us to get together and discuss options for working together” Holtz proposed a guaranteed, three-year, $150,000 job with the Department of Public Instruction should one of them (win).

After a freedom of information request, One Wisconsin Now turned over a few revealing emails from Holtz:

AP: State superintendent candidate Lowell Holtz sent an email detailing his support among Republicans and soliciting campaign advice using his Whitnall Public School account during a school day, an apparent violation of Wisconsin law.

This interesting big money business references was in one of the illegal emails:

Pridemore: “So if you were any other country in the world, wouldn’t you want to maybe knock America down a few pegs or two…to me, that’s what’s going on here, and we need to be aware of it…”

Neumann: “Where is this coming from though, in terms of you feeling like it is something that, I don’t know if you want to call it a plot against America, where do you get that information?”

Pridemore: “Well it’s coming from the UN. The UN I would argue has never been really a friend of America…you look at some of the left’s ideas, even Bill Ayers has weighed in on education being one of the major factors in changing a country. If we can get the kids early and often with a change of ideas, America was founded on freedom, and all this detracts, ah, from that freedom.”
