George Eliot quotes a line from 1868 reflecting on the limits of speech and the unseen depths that lie beneath spoken words. The remark emphasizes the disparity between what is said and what remains unexpressed.
The Kansas Supreme Court says the Legislature underfunds K-12 schools but offers no concrete targets for spending or distribution. It withheld formal opinion until April 12 2005 and warned of possible direct court action if lawmakers fail to fix finance provisions, signaling likely ongoing political debate amid budget pressures.
The Kansas Legislature faces another chance to fund public schools adequately and fairly. While most Democrats and some Republicans favor a tax increase, a conservative bloc resists reality. Gov. Sebelius should veto any effort to lower education standards, and anti tax groups funded races to distort public will. The state Supreme Court joins educators and analysts in calling for more funding to improve education.
Readers are invited to share opinions through guest editorials. The Herald notes that views expressed are not necessarily those of the newspaper or its editors.
The confirmation hearings for Alberto Gonzales as attorney general pivot on war on terror policy. Democrats argue Geneva Conventions apply, while Gonzales contends they do not for al Qaida. The piece notes torture memo debates, Abu Ghraib findings, and the need for interrogation methods to obtain intelligence, citing Schlesinger's panel.
Retired Ottawa physician Bud Gollier argues the Kansas Supreme Court demands more K-12 funding and less discrimination, with Johnson County legislators blocking state aid. He warns April 12 deadline looms and cites local option budgets, sales tax debates, and higher education funding as secondary pressures.
