From the Kansas Reflector

“Groups that oppose fully funding public education are also pushing for the amendment. Why these groups? You guessed it — because of a 2018 decision by the Kansas Supreme Court, in which the court held the state’s education funding plan was inadequate under our state constitution.

These groups don’t want the courts to weigh in on public education funding at all. Instead of supporting public education, these groups want to divert state tax dollars to private and religious schools.

As Republican gubernatorial candidate Ty Masterson told a group of Republicans in November, according to the Marion County Record: “If we elect our Supreme Court, they won’t force you to spend money on schools.”

Anti-public education groups want anti-public education justices, and they have the money to get them elected.

Both of these groups want to elect our state Supreme Court justices because they know they have the resources to get their justices of choice elected.

Come Aug. 4, the voters of Kansas will have their say.”
