"The passage and signing of this provision as part of Kansas's budget bill is, sadly, proof of the dangerous normalization of educational censorship, even in a state with a Democratic governor."
"Despite this being a really bad budget, I will sign it, because the alternative is worse."

Free speech advocates warn this law may censor curriculum and stifle classroom discussions, reflecting a troubling trend in educational censorship even under a Democratic administration.
