In Kansas can and employer fire you for a felony if you told them about it in the application and in the interview
I was fired for my felony in Missouri by
my employer and I told them about it on
my application and in the interview. Was
hired on because they only ran Kansas
background and nothing showed up then my
probation officer sent them a letter
stating I was a felon on probation and
they fired me for it… can I sue them
for that?

Unless you had a written employment contract for a defined or definite term (e.g. a one-year contract) which is still in effect (unexpired) and which they violated by terminating you, they could terminate you at any time, for any reason whatsoever, and you would have no rights or recourse. Except to the extent changed by a written employment contract, all employment is employment at will, and may--as the term implies--be terminated by the employer at will.
