RACINE â Saturday was a day of two protests in Racine over whether students and staff members of the Racine Unified School District should return to in-person learning.
The first was the Safety, Equity and Trust Car Caravan, led by Racine Educators United, for parents and educators who donât believe itâs safe yet to return to in-person learning without precautions like vaccinations, contact tracing, regular testing, building updates and more in place.
The second was the Rally For Choice for those who want Unified to put together a plan that will give them a choice between in-person or virtual learning.

We ask that you join the voices of other teachers and say we are prepared to do whatever it takes to to maximize the preservation of life, health and safety of of students, families and staff in our community!

James L. Neibaur is a Racine native who is slated to publish his 30th book later this year. Diana Panuncial
RACINE â When James L. Neibaur published his first book in 1986, he thought the coolest thing about the book was seeing it on a bookshelf, with the title and his name on the spine.
âIâm working on my 30th book and that (feeling) never went away,â Neibaur, 63, said.
You heard him right: 30 books.
Neibaur was 16 years old when he first started writing, submitting articles about his favorite classic movies to magazines in the early 1970s. From there, his interest in writing about film history âsnowballed.â
