Kansas Republicans want to restrict student free speech after students across the state organized walkouts in protest of ICE.
I spoke with three students who recently participated in a walkout at Derby High and asked them to talk about their experience:

Wichita community members planned a silent, sit-in protest against school closures during the board of education meeting tonight.
This sign has been placed out front, though, telling patrons that signs and posters are prohibited #ksed #icted
Community members rallied today to protest a plan to close four elementary schools in Wichita.
“I think that what they’re going to likely find is that the voters in Wichita will use [a bond vote in November] as a referendum on school closures.”

Kansas Senate wants schools to require parental permission before students can do walkouts.
SCOTUS ruled in '69: students don't shed 1A rights at school. Legal challenges likely if made law.
Rep. who introduced the measure also sponsored a resolution to create "Charlie Kirk Free Speech Day." #ksed
Kansas Senate votes to clamp down on public school protests by requiring students to get parental permission to participate and by imposing penalties on districts, including a fine equal to the superintendent's salary #ksleg #ksed via @kansascarpenter.bsky.social kansasreflector.com/2026/03/03/k...
A Kansas bill would limit how much time students can spend on digital devices during the school day.
It would require school districts to purchase more physical textbooks and instruction materials, without any additional state funding.

I voted NO on HB 2434, the budget bill that underfunds Special Education for 15th year in a row. Be sure to see how YOUR JoCo Representative voted in the comments.

Rep. Ousley tried to increase SPED funding twice tonight: #1 would have gotten us to 70%, #2 would keep us at 67%. I supported both.
The LAW says we are to be at 92%. Current funding will have us under 67% next year. Students deserve better. #ksleg #ksed
Contact your Representative in the Kansas House NOW and tell them they need to allocate more funding for Special Education. &#ksleg #ksed
Wichita school board president Stan Reeser said McCray-Miller was “fiercely independent” and guided by her constituents.
