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.

I believe we need to strongly support Arkansas public schools. I also believe that parents should have the option to choose the best education available for their kids, regardless of their income or zip code.

Ryan Rose (Republican)

Critical race theory has no place in our school systems whatsoever. I would like to see the legislature pass comprehensive critical race theory bans.

9. Marriage: Making it more difficult to obtain a divorce by eliminating general indignities as grounds for divorce.

Ryan Rose (Republican)
Undecided
The sanctity of marriage, which was originally ordained by God, is supposed to persevere through sickness and health, for better or for worse, until death parts a couple. It is sad to me that divorce has become far too common in America. I believe making divorce a little more difficult to achieve might cause individuals to take marriage a bit more seriously. With that said, I would not want to make it impossible for an emotionally abused spouse to get out of a relationship that is genuinely ruining their life. I would need to invest more time studying the ramifications of removing general indignities before forming a final position.
