So said Huckabee Sanders’ executive order. Why, then, is she using her civil office to indoctrinate Arkansas students with her religious and white Christian nationalist views?
Governor, stop your culture war.
- Stop censoring books, free inquiry and classroom discussion and even acknowledgment of gender, sexual orientation, race and Black American history.
- Stop defunding the symbol of our democracy — public schools — to benefit religious schools.
Her voucher scheme will destroy Arkansas public schools.
Arkansas’ universal voucher program will siphon public dollars from Arkansas public schools to pay for private (mostly religious) schools, which specialize in indoctrination. It will divert public resources to schools that aren’t accountable to taxpayers or even required to accept all students. The outrageous cost to Arkansas taxpayers is projected to reach $343 million by the second year. How will our common schools survive this assault?
Arkansas freethinkers, fight back! Help the Freedom From Religion Foundation keep government and public schools free from religious control, indoctrination and censorship. FFRF is currently suing to remove a monument to the biblical Ten Commandments on Capitol grounds, because the state of Arkansas has no business telling citizens which gods to have, how many gods to have or whether to have any gods at all.
