When did Kansas Republicans get so woke?

All of a sudden legislators are sensitive to being gender-neutral, changing all the ‘he-or-she’ references in the Constitutional amendment they’re proposing to ‘such persons.’

A week ago, Kansans cast their most consequential vote of the last 70 years or so, when they decided to preserve the integrity and independence of the state courts by rejecting a constitutional amendment that would have made the position of Supreme Court justice an elected office.

Come November, we’ll be following that up with a vote on potentially the least consequential amendment the Legislature has offered up in decades, which redundantly guarantees that only citizens can vote in Kansas elections.

More on that in a minute. But first, I want to tell you about the most ironic-bordering-on-hilarious aspect of the November amendment. Get those pronouns outta here!
