Education will be a major policy focus for Sarah Huckabee Sanders if she's elected as Arkansas' next governor, she said.
"I think [education is] the single best place that we can impact and change Arkansas for the better," Sanders told news media. "One of the reasons I'm running is because I think education in Arkansas hasn't been made a top priority in the way it needs to be.""We know that if a kid's not reading by the time they're in third grade, there's a 70% chance that they're going to have a lifetime in poverty," she said.
"I don't want that to be part of our curriculum, and as long as I'm governor it won't be," she added.There's no indication that critical race theory has been taught in Arkansas' public schools or that anyone intends to introduce it into the curriculum.
