The whole exchange is about 10 minutes. Here the director of Arkansas DCFS is interrogated about whether GAC constitutes “child abuse” under state law, and whether she was aware the vendor had posted in support of families of trans kids. He concludes by suggesting the contract be reviewed.

While this is just a state committee, there’s plenty of reason to be worried nationally about child welfare. It’s clear both state and federal officials are looking to revisit the system as it exists in favor of one ruled by conservative orthodoxy.
Yesterday’s executive order is about 10 months later than expected but on target to do exactly as predicted. It will fully reverse protections enacted under Biden, and resurrect church-run, faith-based systems like we used to have before public social services.

A little more than halfway through, Rep. Rose goes on a tirade demanding state contractors attest to believing GAC is abuse as conditional for a contract.
