I live in Kansas too and I cannot even begin to think they would vote to be rid of it. It has been such a part of lives here. I know I am being silly, I know who they are but this just seems impossible.

I have been a bit out of things for a while so take this for what it is worth. Sad to see it is even being discussed.

My momma always told me, "Never trust a Republican"...they lie...

It has always been such a positive thing to have in like a million years. For what it is worth, not much for sure, I have not heard anything like this. For the love of God why? This is so over the top, there have to be some of them who see what this looks like and what it will do. They cannot all believe in stupidity and ignorance.

But they are greatly outnumbered by all the stupid MAGAs down there. And their governor is one of the stupidest, imo.

three weeks before I was born....to California. I am really happy to have nothing to do with that state! All the family also eventually moved to California!

It really is great programming.

of their young lives and they'll pay stupid dividends forever. The Red State's motto.

OK is extremely religious with the worst school ratings in the country. Not all that long ago, under Democratic leadership, their schools were in the top 20.

I grew up watching PBS on WGBH TV in Boston and feasted on shows like ZOOM, Mister Rogers' Neighbor, The Joy of Painting, The French Chef, Crockett's Victory Garden, This Old House, NOVA, Frontline, The Woodwright’s Shop, Nature, Motor Week, Cosmos, The New Yankee Workshop,

I feel sorry for a whole generation of kids who will miss out due to a lack of funding

and hearing about WGBH for like half the other programming.

... there's unlimited funding for the malicious thugs of I.C.E., $20 billion for Argentina's cratering economy, MORE tax cuts for greedy fucking billionaires who don't need it, or deserve it, $300 million for a tacky replica of a Russian ballroom, and the list goes on...
The irredeemably corrupt Sinister Six poisoning the SCOTUS will give this evil sonofabitch carte blanche to do anything he wants to whoever displeases him, and Republicans are just fine with it, because they want to rule over the ashes of whatever's left, which won't be much if we don't stop them. Like, NOW.
These people have forfeited any consideration of mercy or forgiveness, and deserve whatever Hell has in store for them.

No wonder it has to go...........

I was fluent in ubby-dubby at eight years old

imagine the "flavor" of their local programming they will produce.

TLC used to be a good channel too.

But I gave up on cable 15 years ago.

... where a couple parting company wonder, "If we gits a dee-vorce, are we still brother an' sister?"

As the wise old sage, Ron White, observed, "Ya can't fix stupid!"

Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.
-- Martin Luther King Jr

Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice. One may protest against evil...Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.
--Dietrich Bonhoeffer

and thankful to have such a great radio station. They did right well on the last fund-raiser and the entire network came up with the funding in 2 days and a little bit. $1.5M. And then just had another funder and it went quickly. I had also turned off the Direct Tv a few months ago. So, DU and WAMC are my main information feeders.

Why?
Because stupid gave us Chump!

The right’s war on education continues.

My ass. Huckafuck want to be first to please her fuhrer?

This ranking reflects a decline from previous years.
Yeah, I'd move there ..for 7 million.....Maybe. yuck.

The less desirable the state becomes to live in, the more talented and ambitious people pack up and leave. The more talented and ambitious people pack up and leave, the less desirable the state becomes to live in. That's been happening in a lot of places across the US for a long time.
