I submit to you the city of West Bend, WI. Just outside of Waukesha County the city is still grappling with issues such as whether or not to support the 1st Amendment and if sex ed teachers can tell their kids about homosexuality. If you want backwards, this is your town.
West Bend schools are outperforming the state average. And costs are low. Yet, disputes over school spending, social climate and educational policies have come with striking frequency in recent years.
