Arkansas Governor signs bill protecting the right to equality before the law

Stephen Haile and his wife have been foster parents to more than 300 children in Arkansas. Foster care means so much to Stephen that he wants to serve on the Arkansas Social Work Licensing Board. But state law limited the number of seats that could be filled by white members—and Stephen is white.

Pacific Legal Foundation helped Stephen file a lawsuit. But PLF also worked with Arkansas legislators on a bill that would eliminate the racial quota. That bill successfully passed the state legislature and was signed by Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Brittany Hunter reports.

“Any time an advocate gets the U.S. Supreme Court to take up a case, it’s a bit like winning the appellate lottery,” Reuters reporter Jenna Greene notes. “This term, PLF scored a trifecta, convincing the high court to review three of its petitions—a highly unusual feat, considering just 60 cases out of thousands this term got the nod."
