[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eww just eww. Kansas is one of the worst red states in America. If you are Republicans- fine. If not, go elsewhere.[/quote]

That is a myth. I can appreciate why some people might think that, but look at 2016. In state elections, Kansas was the only Red state to move to the middle. I realize the middle is probably still too extreme for many people, but it is progress. Historically, Kansas has been a state that prides itself on public education and higher education.

Look closely at Kansas. What happened to our economy is indeed what will happen to America under Trump. But also look at the fight of average Kansans to reverse that trend and take back our legislature. Please don't give up on Red states, nor perpetuate the myth that there is nothing of value here, including KU. If anything, there are a whole lot of tenacious people and citizens who value education. And the college town of Lawrence is really nothing like the rest of the state, no matter how you look at it. KU and Lawrence stand out as a beacon of hope here.

If you are a KU grad reading this thread and you have not  donated to the University since leaving, please consider doing so. It would help. I'm not even that much of a rah-rah Jayhawker, but the university is so important to the state and critical to breaking the cycle of extremism. [/quote]
