AP helping religious right again--this time in Arkansas
Some quick digging indicates that there are no instances of anyone attempting to enforce this provision in modern times. And with good reason--there is no way, no how, this provision would ever stand up in court. However, provisions like this are in the same category as provisions in some Southern state constitutions that were used to restrict blacks from voting--even though they're unenforceable, their continued presence makes them look backwoods. Clearly, the AFA must think we're stupid--why else would it feature such an obviously inaccurate story? After all, as I write this, this article is one of the feature stories on the Website of OneNewsNow, the AFA's wire service--an obvious attempt to push buttons among the AFA's base. About the only other plausible reason is that there must be an awfully large homeschool/Christian school base in Arkansas that believes the religious right's "Christian nation" myth. The guy who proposed this is Richard Carroll, who represents part of Little Rock in the state house. Send him some love at carrollr at arkleg dot ar dot state dot us.
