Will the GOP run someone with a solid voting record?
Gilbert Baker’s stance that it is okay to fingerprint our children in public school lunch lines just doesn’t sit well with me.
For those unaware, electronic thumbscanning is happening around the state in various school districts. I have confirmation that it is happening in Bryant, Mayflower, Salem, Jonesboro, Farmington, Conway, and Hot Springs.
I encourage anyone reading this to ask their kids if they are having their thumbs scanned in the school lunch lines. You may be surprised as every parent of children being scanned I have spoken with was unaware this is going on.
