Day 2021 Not Without a Fight_Final Draft_14 uneJ 2018.doc Richard E. Day Available at: https://works.bepress.com/richard_day/69/ Not Without a Fight By Richard E. Day, Ed. D. When the pragmatically liberal Governor Bert T. Combs passed his 3% retail sales tax, in 1960, the people on the Cumberland Plateau felt a surge of confidence. After decades of neglect, local school boards in eastern Kentucky were finally able to offer qualified teachers with a college degree a raise of $900 dollars per year, and perhaps, stem the tide of good teachers who were leaving the region for bigger cities, or leaving the state for greener pastures in Ohio or Tennessee. The tax helped military veterans and funded new classrooms. Teacher standards were raised, a network of vocational schools and ten community colleges opened, and work began on the ambitious Kentucky Educational Television network which would greatly expand educational programming in rural areas. As lawyer and former Kentucky state legislator Harry M. Caudill reported, in his definitive Night Comes to the Cumberlands, that the public schools in eastern Kentucky lagged far behind. A 1960 University of Kentucky study found that high school graduates in Harlan County were performing three years and five months behind high school graduates nationally and were in no position to compete for good jobs.

There is no allegation that only part of the common school system is invalid, and we find no such circumstance. This decision applies to the entire sweep of the sys- tem-all its parts and parcels. This decision applies to the statutes creat- ing, implementing, and financing the system and to all regulations, etc., pertaining thereto. This decision covers the creation of local school dis- tricts, school boards, and the Kentucky Department of Education to the Minimum Foundation Program and Power Equalization Program. It covers school construction and maintenance, teacher certification-the whole gamut of the common school system in Kentucky.

Chapter 2 A Slow Start for Kentucky’s Children The story of education throughout the South is roughly parallel to that of the rest of the nation but with at least three significant additional influences: 1) the widespread agrarian attitude that education was largely a family matter, and for many, a matter of little necessity; 2) racism, born of slavery and plantation economics; and 3) its offspring, traditionalism, which reinforces paternalism, skeptical attitudes toward government and maintenance of the status quo. So change in the South comes slowly, when it comes. In the earliest days of the Union, a gradual and essentially peaceful abolition took place in the North. Typically, a state would pass a law declaring: all slaves born after a given date would be free when they reach the age of 21 for women, or 24 for men.

Staking Their Claim: The Impact of Kentucky Women in the Political Process BY PENNY M. MILLER* F or the past 200 years, women have faced tremendous obstacles in staking their claim to influence the politics of "traditionalis- tic" Kentucky.' Their intermittent forceful impact has been felt through- out the Commonwealth in their various roles as voters, elected and appointed officeholders, policymakers, party activists, interest group participants, lobbyists, and campaign contributors; but in such activities Kentucky women have lagged behind national trends. "Seventy-five years after suffrage, women are still the missing majority on Kentucky's ballot."2 "Women's issues" have ebbed and flowed, but always in an ultimately conservative direction, in Kentucky.3 In 1881, the Kentucky * Associate Professor of Political Science and Director of Undergraduate Studies, Department of Political Science, University of Kentucky.
