MADISON — Dr. Gary Thompson, a child psychologist from Utah, has a blunt
question for Sen. John Lehman, D-Racine: “What the hell is wrong with you?”
There’s more. In an open
letter to Lehman, Dr. Gary Thompson wrote:
“Let me get straight to the point: On behalf
of every African-American, Latino, Autistic, gifted, depressed, anxious and
learning-disabled child in the state of Wisconsin,
I demand your immediate resignation from public office.”
When Thompson finished,
Lehman asked who paid him — and how much — for his testimony.
Thompson had said he was
paid about $1,150, for airfare and a rental car, by American Opinion Foundation,
a nonprofit with ties to the conspiratorial John Birch Society. He said he was
asked to visit Wisconsin
to testify on testing and child psychology. Several Wisconsinites at the Common
Core hearing testified to putting money in a hat to fly in experts on the
standards.
The Racine senator and Rep. Sondy Pope,
D-Middleton, then sent a news release condemning the
involvement of Birchers and paid testimony in the Common Core hearings.
