“There is a lot to be proud of in Coffeyville and many other districts in Kansas. Be wary of those mischaracterizing test scores, failing to recognize multiple ways our students are achieving at higher levels, refusing to acknowledge the many challenges our students and our schools have been facing. We have seen legislators, paid lobbyists and school board candidates attacking administrators, teachers and current board members. Ask yourself why these people are casting student achievement in a falsely negative light.” Originally posted to Facebook Sept. 4th, 2023....

Indiana’s Vouchers Are No Model For Kansas
This is where Kansas legislative leadership is trying to go. They’re trying to create a private school subsidy for anyone who wants it including people who can already afford private school tuition. Tax credit “scholarships” are wealth distribution from rural to urban/suburban and an entitlement program for able bodied people. “Indiana’s private school voucher program saw the largest amount of participation during the 2022-23 school year since the program’s creation, and most of the scholarships are going toward white wealthy families.” Check out this link from the Indy Star: https://www.indystar.com/story/news/education/2023/06/15/indiana-private-school-vouchers-racial-demographics-participation-household-income/70322001007/?fbclid=IwAR3qNkrn8kAQe_9VzB8OUVm_S_eYnj_tRNhyNYvnQrFQa9FVJ60TBnEVZxI Originally posted to Facebook on June 15, 2023....

Leave a Comment Moms for Liberty Propaganda
Moms for Liberty are trying to ban books and spread misinformation. Don’t fall for it and make sure you know who’s running for your local school board and recognize the difference between those who want to improve your local schools and who’s working to erode support for them. These images were posted on Facebook by Stand Up Blue Valley. Kansans in the Blue Valley district are finding these in their neighborhoods. You can see their Facebook post here: https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FStandUpBlueValley%2Fposts%2Fpfbid025ypd1x34vDfDVcTHQXSe1EDHndpMxhceBzBwdXcqLnkpe4UN5YApBCkUc3vRvcpLl&show_text=true&width=500 Originally published to Facebook on June 15, 2023....

Leave a Comment Information About Moms for Liberty
We shared on Facebook this post from York, PA because Moms for Liberty is a national group and pushing the same agenda funded by dark money from outside our own states. They’re coming for school boards across the country, including in Kansas. “Parents are within their rights to insist on the best education for their children. But such actions should reflect good-faith efforts to improve school operations and not a hateful agenda aligned with moneyed, far-right interests, conspiracy theorists and white nationalists.” Click on the link below from York Dispatch. https://www.yorkdispatch.com/story/opinion/editorials/2023/06/11/do-the-homework-on-moms-for-liberty-affiliated-school-initiatives/70310990007/?fbclid=IwAR3GpGTzpxBrUe3FXFwqcdSiVuH6IV3B5xBVWSQZ1qG_z0Jpz7x1zxJIGjM Originally posted to Facebook on June 15th,...
