Kobach apartheid letter resurfaces as scrutiny rises
A decades-old August 1986 letter by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach defending divestment against apartheid while arguing disinvestment would harm South Africa’s black citizens has reemerged. The piece, written as Kobach was Harvard bound, said disinvestment was ineffective yet noted U.S. corporate pullout could worsen chaos, and he later said he viewed campus debates as superficially persuasive but harmful. The resurfacing coincides with Kobach’s gubernatorial bid and role on an election-fraud commission.
