Your proposal to shell out nearly $100 million to Arkansas teachers is immoral and unconstitutional.

This amounts to nothing but a raise for Arkansas teachers and they certainly do not deserve a pay raise.

From another point of view, the vast majority of teachers are Democrats and support Obamacare; therefore they should pay for their own increases in insurance premiums.

The arrogance you are showing in coddling the teacher unions is breathtaking and must be construed as a political payoff to teachers and their unions. It hasn’t been that long ago that Obama dispensed $93 million taxpayer dollars to the teachers of Arkansas. A totally undeserved largesse.

The Arkansas public school system is academically corrupt and the system’s area of influence is expanding yearly.

Just one example of academic corruption was reported recently in nationwide news that the public school system in Arkansas is implementing Common Core which amounts to Arkansas teachers indoctrinating students, in this case to eliminate or change the Bill of Rights, particularly the 1st & 2nd Amendments, e.g. sixth graders in the Bryant School District.  Is this not subversion?
 
It appears that you Governor and members of the legislature would better serve your constituents by being aware of what is going on in the public school system with reference to the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Rule of Law or perhaps you and the legislative members approve of the very academically destructive and mind-bending Common Core.

Teachers are not an endangered species; they have been a kept group for far too long, particularly in view of the state of public education.

Quit stealing from the producers.
