Quote of the Day by Nat Hentoff on college leaders

Supreme Court limits medical marijuana protections
The Supreme Court ruled that people who smoke marijuana for medical pain relief can be prosecuted under federal anti drug laws, overriding state medical allowances. The decision prompts fears of federal raids on patients in states like Colorado where prescriptions permit possession, while officials urge no targeting of the sick and dying. The AMA and NIH call for more studies but stop short of endorsing marijuana as a pain reliever. The Garden City Telegram

Kansas Supreme Court Rejects HB 2247 Funding Plan
In a unanimous ruling the Kansas Supreme Court rejected a $142 million K-12 funding increase and ordered $285 million by July 1, citing lack of a cost study. It also dismissed local property tax provisions as potentially disequalizing and warned that two thirds more may be required if a proper funding formula isn’t enacted in 2006. The decision signals the court’s drive to correct disparities using identifiable cost data and could push a bipartisan plan in 2006. Tom Holland, Baldwin City, urges rapid action in the 2006 session to reflect actual education costs and avoid taxpayer burdens.
