Wisconsin "Badger Doctors" Go Unpunished

Remember that while the flee-baggers were hiding in Illinois, Wisconsin teachers were abandoning their classrooms to join protestors trashing the Capitol. In something of a role-reversal, the teachers were giving fraudulent sick notes to the schools to get out.

Some of the doctors giving out free sick notes were disciplined last week. But 10 more have gone unpunished:

The 10 additional doctors identified in the records, like some of the seven doctors reprimanded, used sick note form letters listing badgerdoctors@gmail.com as their contact information. The district cited that as grounds for declaring all notes from those doctors as fraudulent.

When asked Friday why the state didn't investigate the additional doctors and if the state reviewed the school district's sick notes during its investigation, Gasper didn't directly answer the questions.

"We received hundreds of emails from concerned citizens seeking to bring this issue to our attention," Gasper said. "If new complaints arise, they will be responded to through the normal process, given a fair review and acted upon by the Medical Examining Board if they believe such action is warranted."

The State Journal is not naming the additional doctors because it could not be determined if they have been accused of any wrongdoing.

Uh huh. Don't hold your breath.
