Worth noting that Arkansas consistently ranks in the bottom 10 states for public education

https://arktimes.com/arkansas-blog/2024/01/08/arkansas-named... :

"In education, despite what the pro-LEARNS crowd says, Arkansas came in 43rd, which is two places lower than in 2021. Pre-K to 12th grade and higher education both fared poorly"

Arkansas is also 49th in the US for adults with a college education:

If the adults cain't have a good education, the kids shore ain't gonna be entitled to one their damn self.

Look at Arkansas's two senators and you can see why PBS would be wasted on them anyway
