State Senate 2
1. Abortion: The 1973 Roe v. Wade U.S. Supreme Court abortion decision.
2. COVID: Letting private businesses terminate employees who are not vaccinated against COVID-19.
3. Marijuana: Legalizing recreational marijuana in Arkansas.
4. Education: Allowing public funds allocated for the education of a child to be used to pay for an education at any school the parent chooses.
5. Critical Race Theory: Withholding state funds from any public school that promotes critical race theory.
Matt Stone (Republican)
Support
Support with conditions: I am 100 percent against Critical Race Theory being taught in our schools, the dilemma is what is the most efficient way to enforce it. As stated this could potentially bankrupt a school district and impede the education of the children in a school that have no other alternatives for education to them due to the irresponsibility of the school administration. Maybe a better alternative would be to make it illegal to teach Critical Race Theory, and immediately remove any administrator or teacher who violates the law.
