Lautenschlager speaks out against book petition in Fond du Lac

Peg Lautenschlager has taken off her Attorney General’s hat and put on that of a parent, as she speaks out about a petition movement in Fond du Lac to have Maya Angelou’s book entitled “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” removed from the sophomore advanced English curriculum at Fond du Lac High School. Lautenschlager lives in the Fond du Lac area and her children either have attended or are attending Fond du Lac High.

She also expressed concern over the Fond du Lac school district holding an open meeting on the matter but not notifying the public of that meeting. You can read more about this ongoing book debate in this article but aside from the controversy itself I wonder two things: will Lautenschlager file a complaint or begin an investigation of the Open Meetings law violation; and, if so, will it take eight months to investigate and render an opinion as it did with the Five Rivers/Oshkosh Common Council closed meeting complaint or will it be given greater priority, especially since she leaves office in less than two months and the incoming AG does not give the impression of having the same concern for Open Meetings violations that Lautenschlager does?
