      Actually not all that surprising:

      *In 1923, the legislature added a fourth star, representing the Confederate States. This fourth star was originally placed so that there were two stars above the state name and two below; this was to include the Confederate States alongside France, Spain, and the United States. Since this disturbed the other two meanings of the original three stars, the legislature corrected this in 1924 by placing the fourth star above “ARKANSAS” and the original three stars below it, as it is today. The 1924 design was confirmed as law in 1987 by Act 116, signed by Governor Bill Clinton.

      In 2011, Act 1205 (formerly House Bill 1546) was signed by Governor Mike Beebe, adding some more details to the flag. In the terms of colors, the red and blue used on the flag of Arkansas are Old Glory Red and Old Glory Blue. *

    The parents are happy, because this means they can get paid for sending their kids to what they consider daycare.

    I thought falling for bullshit was something the right did. This photo is from when she signed the LEARNS Act and had nothing to do with the abhorrent loosening of child labor laws she signed.
