Republican legislators in Arkansas “want Arkansas’ public school textbooks to define marriage as the union of a man and a woman – just like the recently approved amendment to the state Constitution.” According to an Associated Press wire report, state Rep. Roy Ragland has sponosored a bill that says “if a school textbook attempts to define marriage, it must do so the same way the amendment overwhelmingly passed by voters on Nov. 2 does.” Says Ragland, “With the popularity and the mandate that I felt like the people of the state of Arkansas gave us … I thought this was the right time to do this.”
