Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a Republican, signed seven executive orders to decrease the size of her state’s government, combat “indoctrination” and critical race theory in schools, and remove the term “Latinx” from government documents.
During her inaugural address Tuesday, Sanders pledged to sign an executive order “preventing the political indoctrination of Arkansas’ schoolchildren.”
“As long as I am governor,” she said, “our schools will focus on the skills our children need to get ahead in the modern world—not brainwashing our children with a left-wing political agenda.”
The governor’s office sent copies of the executive orders to The Daily Signal.
Sanders, former White House press secretary under President Donald Trump and daughter of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, signed an order declaring critical race theory, or CRT, to be “antithetical to the traditional American values of neutrality, equality, and fairness.”
The order directs the Arkansas Department of Education not to promote teaching “that would indoctrinate students with ideologies, such as CRT, that conflict with the principle of equal protection under the law or encourage students to discriminate against someone” based on characteristics such as color and race.
Legacy media journalists and proponents of critical race theory use a narrow definition of it as a legal theory taught in law schools to claim that CRT doesn’t reach into the classrooms of K-12 education.
However, the theory involves finding “systemic racism” in various American institutions, including education, and encourages proponents to reexamine every aspect of life through a race-based lens that assumes white people are oppressors and black people are oppressed. Teachers have applied this lens in K-12 education, and Sanders’ order aims to prevent that in Arkansas.
