Most of my news this week comes from Kansas, where the Democratic administration was recently caught crafting a slyly misleading graph to illustrate the “success” of Gov. Laura Kelly’s mask mandate. Despite that ultimately false claim, and a per-capita death rate less than half of New Hampshire’s, high school football may not happen in Kansas this fall. Kansas City and Wichita have voted to suspend the season at their schools, and there appears to be a statewide plan to reschedule the games for next spring.

That should seem bizarre, at least to those old enough to remember when football was associated with crisp autumn air. It was the only time of year you could be seen walking with a girl and carrying a blanket without every adult who spotted you calling her parents to warn them about it.
