“But now we have dissenters who say we never wanted to go to the Super Bowl anyway. That was all a pipe dream and we should just settle for what we have. They want to change the goal by passing a constitutional amendment that says the Legislature decides when the constitutional obligation is met. That is a little bit like saying Andy Reid gets to determine who wins the Super Bowl. I’m sure the Chiefs would win every year, but does it really mean we are the best that we can be?

“Don’t be distracted; keep your eye on the ball. Run ‘65 toss power sweep’ (ask an old Chiefs fan for clarification) and keep matriculating the ball down the field. Kansas students deserve to be winners in the education Super Bowl. Don’t accept a sour grapes attitude of changing the goal right before we reach it! We are so close to having the school systems funded in a way that meets the high expectations we should have for our students. We must demand our team (the Kansas Legislature) keeps matriculating the ball down the field!”
