Report: “The union’s ‘education rights’ amendment is an attack on religious freedom”

From Opportunity Arkansas:

The proposed radical amendment to the state constitution pushed by Left-wing advocates would change quite a lot about Arkansas. 

Create new welfare programs at the cost of more than $1 billion per year? Check.

End education freedom? Check. 

Re-open the door to “woke” curriculum? Check.

But Arkansans may be entirely unaware  that the amendment could end religious freedom in Arkansas’s schools that accept any form of school choice dollars, including certain types of scholarships, forcing Arkansas families to choose between their religious beliefs and a quality education for their kids. 

Put simply, the radical, union-backed amendment:

• Mandates equivalent academic standards that would threaten religious schools’ curriculum;
• Ignores the attorney general’s warnings about unconstitutionality;
• Flies in the face of multiple Supreme Court decisions on religious freedom; and
• Sets Arkansas on a path toward costly, taxpayer-financed lawsuits
