An experiment worth trying?

While Kentucky school officials are talking about maybe losing 4% of their state funding, Kansas schools this month got a 25% haircut:

It comes as quite a shock for a Kentuckian to see the Kansas education official say that they had been able to make it work.

Could the same thing fly in Kentucky? We don't really know because fiscal accountability in Kentucky schools is so bad.

"An experiment worth trying?"

Isn't Kansas one of the states that wants "creationism" taught as "science?"

I guess you could cut education expenses by 25% if you want to teach myth and superstition as science.

Why bother to pay for classes to teach students how to test, evaluate and draw conclusion based on observable evidence?

It's far cheaper to believe the nonsense in a book of paper and ink written 2300 to 2500 years ago, and call it "science."

You "flat-earthers" never cease to amaze me.
