There but for the grace of God, as they say . . .

New law allowing innovative school districts produces questions

First, what laws are they exempt from and how do they hinder teaching? It seems to be an important point that needs to be in this story. Second, why should educators trust anything the Brownbackians propose given their track record and their commitment to the far-right wing Koch brothers and school privatization?

Editorial: After the fact

"Create jobs"??? This will consolidate the market share into the handful of even fewer individuals associated with Monsanto, Cargill, etc., and drive traditional farmers out. GMOs will continue to be shoved down our throats, and next we'll be hearing about their desire to OUTLAW small farming operations -- the beginnings have which they've already begun in Michigan and probably elsewhere. Go ahead, Kansas, keep voting for these corporate oligarchs (the dictionary calls them fascists). The fantasy land depicted above will dissolve and you'll find yourself living in the economic equivalent of oh, say, Paraguay.

Lawrence man charged, three juveniles arrested, in robbery of pedestrian at gunpoint

Some would say that if the victim had had a gun, he could have "defended himself," in which case there would have been some dead kids. As it is, the perpetrators will go to jail, whether prison or reform school, where they will be "punished" and come out probably worse than they went in. Meanwhile, the real social work and education that needs to happen has been defunded and is not considered valid and so on it goes . . .

Brownback administration pushes to repeal restrictions on corporate agriculture; opponents say family farms will suffer

Fascism: corporations will decide what happens because democracy is inefficient -- it makes your meetings "go downhill in a heck of a hurry." Mussolini would be proud. Soon, we'll be told how Mussolini was really a good guy and the liberal historians got it wrong.

Opinion: Seniors Travis Releford, Jeff Withey huge for Kansas

I don't think Kevin Young is getting the credit he deserves. In the first half when nobody was doing much he was scoring and rebounding to keep it close.

Senate approves constitutional amendment to remove courts from school finance decisions

The courts have this power in order to save Kansans from the bone-headed legislature in times like these. It's called "mixed government" -- collective rule by the One, the Few, and the Many -- it's designed that way. The tyranny of the Brownbackians apparently knows no bounds.

Recent audit eyes sale of surplus state property

This is ideologically driven by the Brownbackians, I suspect. Kansas has the smallest percentage of public lands of any state in the union. Glad I'm not a vet staying at the Old Soldier's Home when they sell these lands to the feedlots.
