Kansas English only bill advances but loses education grants
The Kansas House bill to declare English the official language moved to the Senate, but a proposed amendment to label English as common language failed and a key provision offering $500,000 for adult English classes was stripped. Proponents warn such moves hinder immigrant assimilation and educational support, while opponents argue official status is already in place and multilingual documents remain allowed.
