Arkansas Education Secretary Jacob Oliva, left, shown beside Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, wrote that the department"is charged with oversight of education in public school districts, which includes ensuring school district compliance with state law and State Board of Education rules." "Given some of the themes included in the pilot, including ‘intersections of identity' and ‘resistance and resilience,’ the Department is concerned the pilot may not comply with Arkansas law, which does not permit teaching that would indoctrinate students with ideologies, such as Critical Race Theory," he continued, citing the Arkansas LEARNS Act that GOP Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed into law in March.
