Memorial Day 2023
Every day is a day to remember our fallen heroes who paid the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation. We here at the Republican Party of Arkansas hope that as you spent time this weekend with friends and family, you also took a moment to appreciate the blessings of living in the United States of America.
Democrats Attack Arkansas LEARNS
Last week Pulaski Judge Herbert Wright issued a temporary restraining order against the Arkansas LEARNS Act. This lawsuit, brought by activist Democrats from around the state, is the latest attempt to block the boldest education reform in the nation.
Remember, Arkansas Democrats voted against teach pay raises. They voted against parental empowerment. They voted against kids trapped in failing schools. They voted against literacy coaches being deployed to areas in need. Now, they have resorted to the judicial branch to halt what they could not change in the legislative process.
Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders released the following statement: "This is an absurd lawsuit with zero merit and we will file an appeal immediately. It’s sad the radical left is playing political games with children’s futures. We are focused on making sure that every kid in AR has access to a quality education, teachers have the pay raises they deserve, and parents are empowered. We expect to be vindicated at the Supreme Court and I’m confident that the Attorney General will be able to vigorously defend it."
Attorney General Tim Griffin has already announced that he has appealed this decision to the Arkansas Supreme Court.
