Kansas Attorney General Pushes for Removal of Gender Language in Lunch Contracts
June 28, 2025 - 01:24
Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach is advocating for the Kansas State Board of Education to eliminate language related to gender and sex discrimination from the state's lunch contracts. This initiative is part of a broader effort by Kobach to challenge what he perceives as the influence of gender and identity politics in public policy.
Kobach argues that including such language in contracts could lead to unnecessary complications and claims of discrimination, diverting focus from the primary goal of providing nutritious meals to students. He believes that the removal of these terms will streamline the contracting process and ensure that resources are allocated efficiently.
This move has sparked discussions among educators, parents, and advocacy groups, with some supporting the initiative as a means to simplify bureaucratic processes, while others express concern about the implications for inclusivity and support for diverse student populations. The debate continues as the Board considers the Attorney General's recommendations.
