The Middleton-Cross Plains School District will no longer ask students in a civics class to declare a political party affiliation as part of an assignment, following criticism from the conservative group Moms for Liberty.
In a post on the social media platform X on Thursday, Moms for Liberty claimed a female student in the class “was ordered to write her full name on a square in the high school hallway and publicly declare herself as Republican, Democrat, or Independent.”
A photo accompanying the post shows blue, red and purple sticky notes affixed to a hallway display that is supposed to represent the political spectrum, with students who lean more liberal putting up blue notes at the left and students who lean more conservative posting red notes at the right.
