Kathy's Hometown Paper

Kathy Martin, one of the religious right's representatives on the Kansas State Board of Education is from Clay Center, Kansas. I visited the online site of the Clay Center Dispatch,The Dispatch Online, to see what they had to say about her. Using their very excellent search utility, I could not find a single story about Kathy Martin, even going back through all of 2006, by using the keywords: Kathy, Martin, Board of Education, Topeka, and Evolution. I can't believe such stories don't exist, but I got tired of looking. I did run across an editorial from March, 2006, that stated: "The holy warriors in Kansas have gutted their GOP, and Kansas is bleeding again--undergoing a transition as broad and profound as in the days before the Civil War. They are trying to define not only Republicanism, but Christianity itself, to suit their own prejudices and fears and then encode them in law." Well, at least we know where the editor of the Dispatch lands on one issue of the culture wars. Do you suppose that's why Kathy doesn't seem to get any hometown press?
