Walker and Youth Issues

The Milwaukee Wisconsin Journal-Sentinel has highlighted one youthful indiscretion which Governor Walker seems to have engaged in, while the Huffington Post, by far a more liberal mouthpiece, has promoted in a dismissive fashion Governor Walker’s efforts on behalf of another youthful constituency: the unborn.




Regarding the “youthful discretion”, the fault lies not with the Governor himself, but rather with an initial regent appointment nominee, Joshua Inglett, who was set to join the University of Wisconsin System's Board of Regents. After a few questions about his past and his present bearings on the future appointment, one of the office staff who was vetting questions asked the young nominee’s stance regarding the governor’s recall. Inglett left not one inkling of doubt: he did sign the petition to recall Governor Walker.



Walker has walked away from nominating the youthful Joshua, most likely because a Governor, as any executive, wants to select individuals who support him professionally as well as politically. There is nothing either partisan or perverse about the Governor’s staff choosing to rescind their support for Mr. Inglett.



As for the unborn, the Wisconsin State Assembly has just passed a bill which would require pregnant women to receive ultrasound treatment before undergoing an abortion. Following the horrendous excesses and deplorable health conditions from the clinic operated by the heinously unscrupulous Kermit Gosnell in the Philadelphia ghettoes, the Huffington Post should applaud, not upbraid Walker for taking steps to ensure that every child conceived has the fullest opportunity to live freely and thrive.
