The kids are alright🥹

HAPPENING NOW: Hundreds of students at historic Little Rock Central High are staging a walkout to protest Arkansas's extreme abortion ban & Gov. Sarah Sanders's attacks on public schools 👏

Hmmm. Wonder where the report could be? #VoucherGate continues…

Wait. What? Huckafuck’s education guru was caught up in a bidding scandal in Florida before coming to Arkansas.

And now Arkansas has a voucher vendor bidding scandal.

Weird.

This is our shocked face because we’ve always known #LEARNSIsAScam

More on #Vouchergate: Student First’s performance was an epic disaster since day one. For instance, 8 hours after SF launched its online system where parents could buy school-related products, Amazon was taken offline. Worse yet, it never returned. (In NH, Amazon was the 1/2

This is an unfunded mandate made by Sarah’s #VoucherScam Go watch the testimony of multiple veteran educators who said they didn’t want the LEARNS Act to pass. They knew the harm it would cause.

[Sarah Huckabee Sanders @SarahHuckabee]

He tweets it. Arkansas did it.

We raised starting teacher pay from $36,000 to $50,000 - from 48th in the nation to top five overnight and gave every teacher in the state a raise.

#VouchersAreAScam Sarah knows she is destroying our public schools.

[Sarah Huckabee Sanders @SarahHuckabee]

Arkansas LEARNS was the biggest change to our school system in generations--and it's just getting started.

@HogFanRV @SarahHuckabee It is a very long story, but I promise you we are coming back. And actually, most of us carried that petition

[Citizens for Arkansas Public Education & Students @arkcapes]

While it is NOT our petition, we are watching the abortion petition closely. We want people to always have the opportunity to vote and leave government out of it. Vote yall!! It’s important!! Sign petitions!! It’s important!

[Citizens for Arkansas Public Education & Students @arkcapes]

Hey, get out and sign those petitions this weekend so the PEOPLE can vote on important issues!!! Don’t let the #arleg tell you your voice doesn’t matter. We came up a couple hundred signatures short on the veto amendment. Don’t miss your chance now! #RegnatPopulusYall

[Citizens for Arkansas Public Education & Students @arkcapes]

Don’t let them bully you. Don’t let them play on your fears. Get out to sign these petitions and send lawmakers a CLEAR MESSAGE. #regnatpopulus 5/5

[Citizens for Arkansas Public Education & Students @arkcapes]

Last year when CAPES came together, we were collecting signatures for the veto referendum to stop LEARNS so it could be thoroughly debated and studied. 1/ 🧵

CAPES FULLY SUPPORTS all Arkansans in their constitutional right to petition the government. This is not okay. When lawyers are getting arrested at legal conferences for not soliciting but collecting signatures, we know we are in trouble. 4/
