You're right in that I should have just looked at the article. Call me lazy for that. Did it really? I'm from the area. I'm familiar with the Kansas City Star. They provide a different perspective on state politics from the Eagle (Wichita), and is why I read it. Just like every other local paper, their coverage is meh at best (at least in my opinion.) There are reasons that "local" papers like the New York Times and Chicago Tribune became known nationally for their coverage of news.
Check out the news on education funding in Kansas right now. (Part of the reason I didn't look as it has been a political mess in Kansas the last decade or so. The Midwest US is just a hotbed of Tea Party politics right now.) You'll just love that. Guess I should have posted a couple of links on that to being with, as it was more the direction I was aiming for. This is just the most recent article on it: http://www.kansas.com/2013/10/08/304685 ... chool.html. The Kansas Constitution has education funding written into it.Ikpeip wrote:Personally,I never let my schooling get in the way of my education.
And it shows!
I live in the area also and was not impling that we should not fund schools with my post it was in response to Claeyt statement that is in the spoiler. That state is allmost entirely red except for the 2 cities listed but somehow they seem to manage to graduate alot more student then those bastions of liberal polices.
