The results of Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback’s (R) economic experiment haven’t been pretty, but the effects on the state’s public school system have been especially ugly.
Valerie Strauss reported this week in the Washington Post that some Kansas educators have a bold, new plan to deal with the problem: they’re leaving.
Teachers can’t hotfoot it out of Kansas fast enough, creating a substantial shortage expected only to get much worse. […]
According to new data released by the Kansas Department of Education, at least 3,720 teachers left their jobs either by going to other states to teach, retiring or leaving the profession altogether, the Associated Press reported. That, the AP said, was substantially higher than in previous years. KCUR reported in this story by Sam Zeff that Kansas is becoming such a hard place for teachers that many are crossing into Missouri to find jobs.
It’s not like the state left these teachers with a lot of options. But Kansas does have a plan to deal with the problem.
Increasing teacher pay? No. Strengthening teachers’ collective-bargaining rights? No. Rather, the Topeka Capital-Journal reported that Kansas will instead “lift teacher licensure requirements for six school districts, including two of the state’s largest.”

Why are these people leaving the state?

Any chance that if they themselves picked the categories in a "quality of life" quota they would come out on top?

Pretty good article. Kansas really doesn't see itself as extreme as it is. They think they're being reasonable.
The policies are working. It has long been their aim to destroy public education and replace it with religious schools and for-profit private schools.
So here's a question for the mid- to far-left posters:
Is there a person in government who doesn't caucus with the Democrats that you would consider voting for in a presidential race*?
*Assume you were the deciding vote, so none of this, "Well, I vote in Minnesota so it doesn't matter" or "Trump isn't electable" dodges.
I always kind of liked Jon Huntsman. Seemed reasonable in the debates I watched, fiscally conservative but relatively pro science...I think he finished last in Iowa when he ran.
Budget cuts to education. Isn't it obvious? Same thing will happen in Wisconsin.
WHAT??? When did they do that?Hasn't been the same since they killed the fold-in.![]()
I saw Huntsman speak at the National Press Club and my takeaway was he was the first Republican candidate I would have considered voting for since Jack Kemp.
