Kansas Closes All Public Schools, Sells Buildings to Prison Companies
TOPEKA, KANSAS (The Nil Admirari) - Today, Kansas Governor Sam Brownback signed a bill into law closing all Kansas public schools and selling the buildings to for-profit prison corporations. The law also permanently closed the Kansas State Department of Education, ordered the arrest of public school employees, and outlawed any academic standards.
"I am proud to announce the government's K-12 schools are officially closed in Kansas. Public education employees are urged to turn themselves into police, as warrants have been issued for their arrest," announced Governor Brownback.

had to read the story several times to make it compute. however we need to challenge the government on selling public assets public assets are not theirs to sell the whole thing that started this mess was the gram runion hollingsworth omnibudsman reconcilliation act which authorises congress to sell public agenices and the fcc to sell public airwaves to the highest bidder
