Kansas GOP Debate on Schools and Data Centers | Wichita News

Kansas Republicans clash in fiery debate over school funding, bureaucracy, and future policy — as candidates accuse each other of mismanaging $18,800 per student, with half wasted on admin and test scores plummeting. One candidate calls the system “broken,” demanding drastic cuts to state education and federal funds to force competition. Absentees include Trump-endorsed Senate President, sparking GOP criticism of a “parade of no-shows.” The debate also tackled data centers — one candidate wants to scrap 20-year tax breaks, another warns of AI security risks — and both marijuana legalization and abortion, where all three Republicans oppose pot despite public support and frame abortion as a “morally bankrupt” crisis demanding urgent action.
