We agree with this editorial. We also note that almost every Kansas legislator in office and our governor claimed to be public education supporters while campaigning, and yet there is no groundswell among those we sent to Topeka to comply with the Gannon lower courts order. It is deemed beyond question that the state will appeal the order to increase funding for our schools. Why is that? Our governor and legislative leadership appear willing to sacrifice the education and futures of thousands of Kansans, as well as the economic and social stability of the state itself, to perpetuate their fantastical small-government, tax-free ideological paradise that excludes all but people like them and that, under a distorted idea of personal liberty, imposes no societal obligation beyond self-preservation. Brownback and his legislators need to end their destructive denial, acknowledge publicly the logic of the court’s analysis, accept responsibility for the potential disaster that they have created and go to work on it without delay. Kansans should accept nothing less, and Kansas students deserve a great deal more than they have been getting. Read more here: kansas/opinion/opn-columns-blogs/article5465268.html#storylink=cpy
