Arkansas federal judge to decide on lawsuit challenging LEARNS Act's Critical Race Theory ban.

A federal judge in Arkansas is deliberating on a lawsuit challenging a provision of the LEARNS Act that bans teaching Critical Race Theory. The plaintiffs, including educators and civil rights advocates, argue the law is vague and discriminatory, infringing on free speech. U.S. District Judge Lee Rudofsky has yet to decide on a motion to dismiss the case, awaiting a federal appeals court ruling on a related injunction. The LEARNS Act also includes teacher salary increases and a school voucher program.
