Governor Sarah Sanders signs her ninth executive order during her first week in office. Sanders press office

Gov. Sarah Sanders, who signed an executive order on her first day of office banning “indoctrination” in schools, earlier this week visited Helena-West Helena’s J.F. Wahl Elementary School, where she handed out Ben Carson’s “Why America Matters,” a Moms for Liberty-endorsed picture book that promotes the mission of Carson’s American Cornerstone Institute, which celebrates faith, liberty, community and life.

It includes this passage:

God lives in us through our faith,
shining brightly our own way
Unseen, yet we know He’s there,
And faith matters every day.

Props to What the Huck is Happening, a website operated by Liberty & Justice for Arkansas, a newish Arkansas group aimed at taking on extremist politicians, for linking to a surreal video of Melania Trump reading Carson’s truly atrocious book in a YouTube video.
