Kansas urged to end partisan elections for judges
Gov. Bill Graves backs the Kansas Justice Initiative proposal to remove partisan elections for local judges. Former governor Bob Bennett notes ethics restrict campaigning and warns that judicial elections and campaign finance will skew jurists toward lawyers. The call is to abolish 19th century practice before Kansas enters the 21st.

Kansas board science standards spark national science groups’ denial
The Kansas State Board of Education adopts science standards critics say promote creationism over objective science. Major bodies USC, the National Research Council, the National Science Teachers Association and the AAAS refuse to allow use of their copyrighted material, underscoring the board’s emphasis on beliefs over science. Gov Graves urges revisiting the decision, but officials stand firm, insisting the standards reflect faith not science.
