The receiving organization is known as Arkansans for Students and Educators and was formed on April 1, 2024. A statement of organization filed with the Arkansas Ethics Commission says that the group was formed “For the disqualification and/or defeat of The Arkansas Educational Rights Amendment of 2024.”
The amendment in question was proposed by the group For AR Kids, which is trying to get the amendment on the 2024 ballot and is currently gathering signatures.
The For AR Kids Ballot Question Committee is a coalition comprising the Arkansas Public Policy Panel, the Arkansas Conference of the NAACP, the Arkansas Education Association, the Citizens First Congress, Stand Up Arkansas, and the Arkansas Retired Teachers Association.

The amendment seeks to “require identical academic standards and identical standards for accreditation, including assessments of students and schools based on such standards, for any school that receives State or local funds,” among other things, including:
- The guarantee of voluntary universal access to pre-K for 3 and 4-year-olds, afterschool & summer programming, quality special education, and wrap-around services for children within 200% of the Federal Poverty Line.
- Establish the minimum quality standards ordered by the Arkansas Supreme Court in 2002 in its Lakeview decision.

Case in point.
I mean, those dipshits elected one of Trump’s press secretaries as their governor. And not even, like, the best one. Sarah Fuckthecountry Sanders is a nepo baby that Republicans love to complain about in public and ass-kiss in private.
Also Harrison is reportedly the most racist town in the US, which is really saying something given that it’s not the home of the RNC headquarters.
Yep, I voted for the nuclear engineer.
Daronda Elaine Williams with the Concerned Citizens of Prescott group spoke about the donation during the presser.
“He’s invested a half million dollars into leaving the door open so lawmakers can water down our educational standards,” Williams continued. “He doesn’t have kids in our schools. He doesn’t live in our community.”
Yes, but his future business relies on employing and selling to the poor and uneducated.
Get educated, it pisses off rich people
Mother Fuckers won’t go work in the mines with education… Walmart is synonymous for mines in this instance
