Pre-filed bill would retain third-graders with reading problems
Gov. Brownback has long trumpeted the goal of having all Kansas fourth-graders reading at grade level. It's a laudable goal, but I'm not sure the best plan for achieving it is to keep any children who fall short out of the fourth grade. The goal is for all fourth-graders to be proficient, not to have only proficient fourth-graders.
Let's put in place plans for improving reading proficiency before we legislate out of the classroom any students who fall short. Huebert's bill makes about as much sense as would having non-proficient readers skip from third to fifth grade, although that would help achieve the governor's goal, too.

Editorial: Choice awaited
The editorial contains two questions -- essentially identical -- that have long ago been repeatedly answered. It also repeats claims that have been more than adequately refuted.
Mr. Martin's comment is perfectly appropriate. I for one am glad that KU has someone who will diligently set the record straight when the Journal World editorializes along these lines. Although I haven't worked in Africa, whatever that might have to do with it.

Economist calls for flat tax, less spending
If we got rid of loopholes and deductions, we'd have a flat rate. We'd all pay 10 percent on our first $8,700 in income. We'd all pay 15 percent on our next $26,649 in income. We'd all pay 25 percent on our next $50,299 in income. We'd all pay 28 percent on our next $92,999 in income. We'd all pay 33 percent on our next $209,699 in income. We'd all pay 35 percent on any income over that.
That's using expected 2012 rates.

Branding blunder
No one rewrote a law. The court's decision didn't change one word of the Affordable Care Act. The court simply found the act constitutional.
