I have read all of the posts and responses to each other as an educator I have to say to all of the nay sayers, you are only doing a diservice to your children, and trully passing on a message of hypocrity and prejudice. All speeches presented have teacher guides, do teachers use them completely no and yes depends on the situation. I have to say that if this message was given by a republican none you would be complaining. The reason education has talk about the opinions and teach "social and political" issues is because the parents or custodial caregivers in the home are not. With that being said you are only giving and prepetuating the problem of poor attendance in our educational system, which is why our President has to talk about staying in school.

Unfortunately, the cost of education has had to increase dramatically due to the irresponsible actions of the elected officials in KS and their refusal to take fiscal responsibility for the future generations in KS. Make sure you thank those you voted for in Topeka, for the fact that your property taxes are increasing and fellow friends in education are losing their jobs or being forced to retire. Also be prepared for another three yr court battle with the state and school districts because of the fact that the state is refusing to provide mandated funding. So when the representatives come and ask for your support remind them of this coming school year and ask them why they are refusing to fund public education in the state of KS and ask them how public schools are supposed to take fiscal responsibility when we are funded by them and we already make numerous cuts and do with far less to educate and prepare the future of KS.

You all need to grow up. There are several towns in KS that are smoke-free in bars and restraunts that are doing quite well, one being Lawrence. I think ya all are crying because you don't want to admitt defeat over most don't like second hand smoke. Say what you will but it is proven even sitting in a non smoke sect and smokers are still in the building I am still getting the second hand smoke which is just as dangerous because it is unfiltered. Why do I have to risk getting cancer from those who don't care if they smoke. I have made the choice to not to why do my rights have to be impeded??? Rights are a two way street. Grow-up and focus on how to get jobs in and improving our schools

I personally know there is more to the story and know that Fowler just didn't leave to leave. It comes down to the fact that the new coach doesn't know a talented kicker from the hole in the ground. Everyone who knows or follows footbal knows you need to have a QB that can pass and run and you need a kicker that can kick and make the field goals in clutch situations in the tighest of games. Obiviously this coach didn't think he needed to keep someone who is young and healthly and kick 50+ yrd field goals. He wanted to keep someone that can't even walk away from practice having made 1 in a practice situation. I say, if that is how Torres practices then it will be a long season. Fowler and Butler are a great fit and obviously Butler knows how to get and keep the talent.

Wow! The children were so brainwashed by our President. How dare he tell the students they need to stay in school to better themselves.
Way to go Mr. Adkins! I'm glad to see that you haven't changed in your style of teaching.
