Arkansas, superintendents are being told that the reason the AP African American Studies class was deleted was that colleges were not going to give credit for it. That's about the dumbest excuse I've heard, but it's also a straight-up lie. The UAFayetteville is giving credit.

Jason Rapert is the least serious man in Arkansas. The fact the @ARGOP governor appointed him shows that she is also not a serious human. Friends, we don't have to believe their lies just because they mention Jesus.

New State Library Board member Jason Rapert kicked off his inaugural meeting today with a motion to defund CALS and other libraries pushing back against a new state censorship law. Rapert couldn't get a second, and the motion died without a vote.

Arkansas, this is key in the voucher debate. Private schools are not required to admit special needs kids. Vouchers will trap special needs kids in traditional public schools with fewer funds. We have a school crisis, but vouchers are not the answer for needy kids.

Just another private religious school openly stating that they won’t provide services to SpEd kids or those with learning disabilities, yet they are open to accepting tax-paid vouchers. This school is in Iowa where legislators are pushing vouchers to defund public schools.

When will the @ARGOP and @SarahHuckabee pass laws to protect our children from predatory evangelical preachers and republican officials who actually prey on children? Far more preachers and republican leaders have been caught sexually abusing children.

She's a Christian by her own testimony. Her kids go to a Christian school. Yet, she continues to lie in direct violation of her scriptures. I'll say it till I die, these folks don't really believe in anything. They exist for power and and to bring wealth to themselves.

Every day we are told that we must partake in the left’s rituals, salute their flags, and worship their false idols.   That’s not normal. It’s crazy, and it’s wrong.   A vote for my education plan is a vote to get politics out of the classroom and ban indoctrination of our kids.

Yes, the Arkansas Republican super-majority made sure women did not have the right to control their own bodies like men, and they made sure to throw a large number of women and children off medicaid because of paperwork issues. Arkansas is bad for women under the @ARGOP

This is lie. The Republican supermajority has done a lot to improve the health of women and children. Is there more to do? yes, but to say we have done nothing is a lie and any serious candidate would not make such a profoundly ill informed statement.

@JuddLegum Read section 16 of the Arkansas Learns law. It has specific criteria for what indoctrination is. This course does not meet those standards. The law also says that the law is not meant to prohibit teaching controversial topics. @ArkansasEd is in violation of the law.

How can you get the working class to pay for wealthy children to attend private K-12 schools for free? School vouchers. Private schools can reject any kid for any reason, often a disability, while taxpayers are still on the hook to pay private school tuition. It’s a scam.

Parents have a right to know what their own children are being taught in school and have their voices heard. This isn't a partisan issue. But Democrats in Congress don't seem to get it—not even one of them voted for the Parents Bill of Rights. Out of touch.
