Head of the #LEARNS #VoucherScam Propaganda Ministry “boldly” lies about LEARNS being good public policy with stakeholders in mind. Dude, we all watched the hearings. Remember when #arleg silenced actual public school students?

CAPES clarifies position on educational rights amendment coalition #saynotolearns #publicdollarspublicschools
What??
Happy Super Bowl Sunday, a “true” American holiday we all set aside our differences and just talk trash about football. 😂 Who are you rooting for? Chiefs? Taylor? 49ers? Commercials? Half time show?
CAPES is a non-partisan grassroots movement committed to preserving and advancing public education in Arkansas. We collaborate with communities: listening, educating, and equipping citizens to advocate for sound policies in local public schools. #SayNoToLEARNS #ForARKids
This is the state education department encroaching public dollars for private schools. Private schools don’t have any accountability to the Dept. of Ed. This is not okay.

An article written by Corey DeAngelis in 2016 outlines his thoughts on why he thinks discrimination is a good thing. Remember vouchers aren’t about school choice. They are tools to legitimize discrimination. fee.org/articles/legal… #VouchersAreAScam
Public education is for everyone. Those who are attacking public education don’t believe in the power of family and community. We welcome everyone to this fight, because we are standing for everyone. Educated communities are healthy communities. #SayNoToLEARNS
The voucher scam is scamming…

503 Followers 516 FollowingLots to unpack in this excellent interview of @ArkansasEd Secretary Jacob Oliva by @RobyBrock When asked about the AR Educational Rights Amendment @ForARKids (private schools held to same standards as public), Oliva is defensive: "Listen... LEARNS is good public policy." #arpx
The federal judge assigned to a lawsuit challenging a section of Arkansas LEARNS will apply for a school voucher for his family under a program created by a different section of LEARNS. But he won't recuse from the case. arktimes.com/arkansas-blog/…
I haven’t been as active online or with my campaign because Searcy’s high school robotics team (The Goonies) I help coach is in competition season. All my spare time has been building towards the Arkansas Regional Competition this Thursday to Saturday. #FRC #crescendo
@SarahHuckabee's LEARNS Act school voucher is a scam. Just like everything else she does. It's all #lecterngate
Calling on Pope County friends--hear from Austin Ross from the @ArkDems and also find out the latest regarding @arkcapes and the @ForARKids ballot initiative. You might catch some local candidates, too. 2/12/2024, 7:00 pm, Pope County Courthouse, 100 W Main, RSVL Don't miss it!
@rdaily Stubblefield called the sheriff’s department on behalf of our rescuers. This is a nonpartisan issue!
I'm on it.
Why didn't they have to follow the bid procedure? Why would they try and hide this from the public? 👀
The Arkansas LEARNS voucher contractor uses the same lobbyist as first dad/former Gov. Mike Huckabee. ClassWallet was awarded the first-year contract without having to bid, and will collect more than $1 million. arktimes.com/arkansas-blog/… via @ArkTimes
High standards for EVERY school that takes tax money & access to the most powerful tools to help kids learn. Thanks @MatthewrMoore and @OzarksatLarge for the great interview. Thanks partners in @ForARKids, @ArkEducation, @arkcapes, @ARpanel1963 , @Citizens_First & Ark @NAACP
"Polling shows this is completely a nonpartisan issue, which is the way education always has been until the past few years. This is not a partisan issue in any way, shape, or form." My chat with @bkopsky about the Educational Rights Amendment #arpx kuaf.com/show/ozarks-at…
The proposal requires all schools that accept state funds to follow the same rules. It also sets min standards for schools & guarantees access to 4 proven boosts to student learning: pre-k, after school/summer, help for kids in poverty & quality special ed arkansasonline.com/news/2024/jan/…
Hey, @ForARKids! We’re talking about y’all in the big Arkansas educators Facebook group. 😉 There are plenty of teachers ready to go as soon as the ballot title is approved. Many of us worked with @arkcapes & know how to handle the signature gathering process.
@bluetruedream21 @KwamiAbdulBey @ForARKids @arkcapes There’s a bunch of us that aren’t teachers that will help too.
@arkcapes @piper4missouri Republicans would love to say the US has gdp growth from private school owners paying taxes on their billions. Even if it will send most parents into debt before college comes. I mean country over people right?
Dept of Ed lowers disability standards for vouchers, lets private school families cut in line. Some parents had only to provide a doctor’s note as proof of disability to score $6,600 private-school coupons. By @OnARWatch1 arktimes.com/arkansas-blog/… via @ArkTimes
Greg Abbott and his billionaire mega-donors know private school vouchers are unpopular in Texas. So they’ve paid for a bunch of poll-tested slogans to sell their scam. Here’s how to debunk each slogan in 1 minute… #txlege
New Arkansas numbers: Less than 5% of #schoolvouchers users were ever public school students. 31% are kindergartners so 👉 ~65% of voucher users👈 were already in private school. That 7/10 rate of existing private rate across states continues. arkansasadvocate.com/2023/10/05/ark…
@arkcapes is seeking public input about features of the LEARNS Act. What’s good and what’s garbage? Fill out their survey and share widely. #RegnatPopulus @ArkRuralCaucus @ArkDPEC @AACF @ARpanel1963
