Kansas names Randy Watson as new education commissioner
The Kansas State Board of Education voted to offer the commissioner post to Randy Watson, current McPherson Schools superintendent. He has deep Kansas roots from Andover to Concordia and was named 2015 Kansas Superintendent of the Year. Some board members worry about exempting districts from state laws, but supporters call him a true visionary. The choice comes amid funding uncertainties and a push to strengthen K-12 across Kansas.

George Will reviews Bettina Stangneth’s Eichmann Before Jerusalem, which argues Eichmann’s actions were rooted in an ideology rather than mere thoughtlessness. The book contrasts Arendt’s portrayal with evidence from Eichmann’s writings and diaries, linking anti Semitic nationalism to genocide and highlighting the danger of universal reason versus ethnic supremacy.
