Teachers Love Immigrants More Than Students

Dave Glomp - May 4, 2026

Madison teachers walked out on their students and classrooms on Friday, May 1st! (Sun Prairie, too, with the district giving less than 24 hours notice to parents.)

Yes, that’s right, they feel that demonstrating against our government rounding up immigrants who entered our country illegally is more important than educating our children.

Gilkey-Meisegeier, age 31, was sentenced Tuesday 04-28-26 to 18 years in federal prison for soliciting a video of a partially nude student. Charges of possession of child pornography and attempted production of child pornography were dismissed in a plea agreement.

Sun Prairie WI schools hired the young black man in July 2022 as something called a “youth advocate” and promoted him in August 2024 at age 29 to dean of students at SP West high school. He lasted one turbulent school year before being fired on 06-09-25.
