Kansas is experiencing a drop in birth rates not seen since 1911.

Interesting article. Off the beaten path of what we usually discuss here, but I felt this was worth sharing. As a rural kid who moved to the “big city” after high school, I have watched the decline and decay of the areas I was raised in over the past few decades. With birth rates declining and school enrollment decreasing, more and more small towns are going to face closure of their schools, which in turn is the death knell for a small town.
Kansas is a rural state, and the rural areas have been facing shortages of employment, residents, and growth for quite some time. Little towns are losing their schools due to low enrollment and the price to keep a school district functioning with so few students. Many rural districts have unified and bus kids from several small towns to one central location. Kids graduate and go to college and do not return to the family farm. There are not a ton of opportunities for many jobs, both college degrees and trade school educated, in towns of 300 people.
They do touch on the drop in enrollment after covid. People moved and relocated, but many decided to home school their children.
The sad statistics of migration to other states, to larger cities, etc. But one interesting point here is also that even bigger towns are closing schools. Lawrence, Kansas, the home of the University of Kansas, is closing elementary schools and have projected a huge drop in incoming kindergarten students due to less babies being born in just their county alone. Lawrence is a town where you would not expect populations declining. Makes you wonder what all the comorbid factors are in the decreasing birth rates?! 🤔. Lawrence is a heavily heavily liberal town. With a rampant homeless problem. And I am guessing plenty of vaccine recipients over the past few years. A baby boom may be impossible in that town.
Im making a jump here considering this info but this seems all part and parcel to globalist eugenicists plans. As population declines and small towns die there is a decrease in private property/land ownership and those who remain move to cities to become not so independent units of labor. . Isn’t this the end goal of WEF planners? Decrease pop, eliminate private property for the middle/lower class and herd the remainers into a controllable “ smart” environment?
This is a nationwide trend. I do business research for a living and one of my clients is a strategic planner for universities. The Millennial generation was a big generation and lots of colleges are staring down the barrel at declining enrollment as their 'feeder schools' (in the case of regional and non big name schools whose enrollments are heavily from the surrounding area) are all projecting smaller graduation classes over the next ~10 years or so. So they are pivoting towards more non-traditional students/workforce to fill the gap. Reasons cited in a lot of the sources center around: economic (birthrates dropped during the great recession 2008 to 2011), people marrying later, decline in teen pregnancies, more choosing not to have children at all. Fertility issues are generally not brought up in the literature, but for a different client project, I saw a couple of employee benefit studies where 'paying for fertility treatments' was one of the fastest growing benefits desired in surveys of employees. And think the fertility issues pre-dated the covid shot issues, there is something that is making us less fertile as a species. I've also seen articles that said having children is a proxy for 'hope for the future'. People who see our world as dysfunctional (everything from the Greta Thunberg's of the world to those on the right who are awake to the destruction of our culture) are less than excited about bringing new children into the world. And these studies the media loves to trumpet about "a child is going to cost you $250K" gives people pause who are already in debt up to their eyeballs with student loans. These studies NEVER mention the psychic benefit and happiness this child brings into your life - but it does make people say, gosh I can't afford to have kids.
