WASHINGTON — Today, Heritage Action, a conservative grassroots organization with two million grassroots activists, including thousands of Arkansans, released a statement from Janae Stracke, Vice President of Field Operations, applauding the Senate for passing SB 294, legislation which significantly expands school choice in Arkansas.
“The LEARNS Act is a major victory for Arkansas and builds on the progress of the nationwide education freedom and parental rights movement. The new Arkansas Children’s Educational Freedom Account Program is a boon for freedom in education because it would ultimately allow every family in the state to qualify for education savings accounts and ensure each of their children can attend the education institution of their choice.
American children deserve better than the one-size-fits-all education system they have had forced onto them for so long. Now, Arkansas can return power to parents to make the educational choices they know are right for their kids. Parent’s across the Natural State are grateful to Senator Breanne Davis and Representative Keith Brooks, for leading on this issue in the General Assembly. Arkansans applaud this legislative leadership and look forward to Governor Sanders signing this monumental legislation into law and delivering on her promise of making education freedom a priority.”
