“Discussions about changing judicial selection in Kansas started about 15 to 20 years ago because of court decisions requiring the Legislature to adopt constitutional funding for schools. The debate heated up again recently because the current school finance formula is set to expire next year.

“Debate about the court’s makeup did not begin due to some lofty goal of promoting democracy, but because the Kansas Supreme Court is the last bulwark defending our state’s constitutional requirement that all Kansas kids receive an adequate and equitable education, regardless of where they grow up.”

If you care about Kansas public schools you need to vote NO and you need to make sure your neighbors know what this is really about.
