Last week, Josie Lenora from Little Rock Public Radio sat down with Kyle Kellams from Ozarks at Large to discuss the latest happenings in the 95th Arkansas General Assembly. They delved into a range of topics, including a bill aimed at ending state-sponsored Affirmative Action and the “Bell to Bell: No Cell” bill.
The bill to end state-sponsored Affirmative Action has sparked debate among lawmakers and the public. Supporters believe that ending Affirmative Action will create a more equal playing field for all individuals, regardless of race or background. However, critics argue that Affirmative Action is a necessary tool to address systemic inequalities and discrimination.
Another key topic of discussion was the “Bell to Bell: No Cell” bill, which aims to prohibit students from using cell phones in schools from the moment they enter the building until the end of the school day. Proponents of the bill believe that limiting cell phone use will reduce distractions and improve academic performance. However, opponents argue that students should have the freedom to use their phones responsibly during the school day.
Looking ahead, Lenora and Kellams will continue to cover important developments in the Arkansas General Assembly and provide insights into the impact of new legislation on the state. Stay tuned to Little Rock Public Radio for more updates on the 95th Arkansas General Assembly.
