The legislation makes Arkansas the fifth state — following Arizona, Iowa, Utah and West Virginia — to enact a universal program for so-called school choice, as more Republican-led legislatures prioritize taking up voucher policies.

But critics say the voucher program essentially functions as a tax stipend for families with the means to enroll their child into private or charter institutions or home-schooling, among other concerns like funding the program long-term.

"We've never put this many important topics into one piece of legislation and voted on it with one vote," state Sen. Reginald Murdock, a Democrat, said on Tuesday., Sanders -- a former Trump White House spokesperson whose father, Mike Huckabee, previously served as Arkansas' governor -- said she hopes to be known as "the education governor." She then laid out details of her agenda in the Republican State of the Union response last month.

Arkansas lawmakers gather in the House of Representatives chamber at the state Capitol, Jan. 9, 2023, in Little Rock, Ark.More than 1,000 students at Little Rock Central High School, Sanders' alma mater, walked out of classes on Friday to protest LEARNS. "It was already stressful to have to speak in front of a Senate but then to have to speak without a prepared speech, while you're constantly getting interrupted, was much worse," May told ABC News in a phone interview. "I absolutely had frustrated tears, but they were also tears of embarrassment ... I think it just hit me that this bill was going to be passed on their time, no matter what.

right up until one of her kids is cleaning the meat-packing plant

Are those the kids she just green lighted to go work in factories? “Please sir..may I have some more?”

Conservatives would once at least 'try' to include a Black person in a photo op. Now they don't give a damn.

Now taxpayers in Arkansas will support private schools! And who said Arkansas was backward! 😆

I hope theses new restrictive laws will create thousands of new young Democrats in these states.

😂😂😂 BIG FAT LIAR 😂😂😂

Republican grooming schools. Republican values will take priority… right?

Republicans always wanted to privatize schools—that is why they allow guns in public schools. GOP wants to close public schools—dumb down America so they have more MAGAS.

All these states already rank low in education they are about to share 51 st with New Mexico.

Great job governor.

Republican Governors; Leading the way backwards!

Look at how miserable the children in that photo look. Their options are bleak and they know it.

According to USAFacts Arkansas has the fourth lowest average teacher pay of all 50 states.

'Make America dumb again!* Dem libruls are branwashin r childrun. Gonna send em to christian skool so they dont end up woke.

satanic_temple_ needs to think about starting private schools so parents can apply for state vouchers. LucienGreaves 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣✌️😎

So choice is bad unless you want to kill your baby. Got it DNC and MSM. Makes no sense huh? Hahaha 🙄 Nice work SarahHuckabee 👍🏻

Finally people will have a choice for their children.

I bet it’s not Republican officals children working until midnight at fast food joints. The gop is filled with scum

And the All-White jury agreed 🙄

And they won't stop until they're ranked 50th in education.

The GOPs way to segregate schools again … 🙄 while trying to hide their racism 🤬

Many public schools are a disaster, this helps lower income families afford to send their children to better schools.

Arkansas universal school choice bill clears legislature and heads to Gov. Sanders's deskA bill establishing a universal school choice program cleared the Arkansas state legislature Tuesday and now heads to the desk of Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-AR). Congratulations! This is definitely going to put woke public schools in that state out of business. The next step should be to go after the Department of Education for aiding in indoctrination rather than learning in public schools across the country.
