Worth noting that Arkansas consistently ranks in the bottom 10 states for public education
https://arktimes.com/arkansas-blog/2024/01/08/arkansas-named... :
"In education, despite what the pro-LEARNS crowd says, Arkansas came in 43rd, which is two places lower than in 2021. Pre-K to 12th grade and higher education both fared poorly"
Arkansas is also 49th in the US for adults with a college education:

Look at Arkansas's two senators and you can see why PBS would be wasted on them anyway

RIP Arkansas. Enjoy your TikTok news feed. I'm sure you'll produce a healthy and stable future generation of kids. Good luck.
