Here’s followup on the letter we posted earlier this week.
Bravo, Haeli Maas.
The junior at Smoky Valley High School in Lindsborg in the heart of Kansas has penned an eloquent letter to Gov. Sam Brownback.
The letter is on the verge of going viral with defenders of K-12 schools in Kansas, for good reasons.
Brownback ought to respond to it, especially if he wants to take advantage of a good opportunity to explain his position on school funding.
Others who need to read the letter include all the adults in the Kansas Legislature who seemed determined to cut support for K-12 schools.
Maas’ letter — signed “From your fellow Kansan” — is not at all a personal attack on Brownback.
Indeed, it talks about the need for her generation to work hard, but also to be given the tools it will need to make a difference in this world.
