VIEWPOINT (cont.)

So, I really like the idea of Freedom of Religion. I like it so much, I’m glad it’s already in, you know, the Bill of Rights. It is, in fact, in the First Amendment. So what’s the deal with this so-called “Religious Freedom Amendment” that Rapert is proposing?

Well, it’s basically a “God says I don’t have to do that” clause that he would like to add to the Arkansas Constitution to make it easier to get around laws that prevent discrimination against all the same people he’s been trying to keep subjugated with all of his other proposals, namely women, minorities, LGBT+ people, and basically anyone who isn’t an uppermiddle-

that I have to allow everyone equal rights, I can maybe avoid it if is restricts my religious rights. Given the timing, I’d also bet it has something to do with mask mandates and vaccines as well.
