To be a Kansas monopolist is to claim non-gov't schools have no oversight, but ignore the fact that gov't run schools, w/ their preferred oversight, fail to educate students. Monopolists know #schoolchoice is true accountability & they don't want the spotlight. #ksleg #ksed

Mr. Austin is one of the worst types of cowards. He pretends to be "non-political," despite his career being rooted in politics. He thinks non-action is better than action. He doesn't want to confront the issues. All he wants is to posture and act, badly, like he cares.
