Arkansas children suffer more than almost any in the country, per new report
“Lack of political will and lack of targeted investments in our children keeps Arkansas near the bottom of the states," Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families Executive Director Rich Huddleston said. "While Arkansas’s lawmakers this week begin debating giving generous tax cuts to the wealthiest Arkansans, we’ve got more children living in poverty, more students lacking proficiency in reading and math, and more teens giving birth than in most other states.”
