I hope PBS then starts teaching kids that it's pronounced Ar-Kansas, not Ar-kin-saw.

How does the state have the power to prevent PBS from being broadcast? PBS is broadcast on affiliate stations that aren't owned by the state (usually)

AETN was the affiliate there, they cut ties. State is taking credit cause racing to the bottom is Arkansas to a T

They're trying to catch up to the shittiest educational states around them in a race to the bottom.

PBS is "propaganda" to people who think objective reality is "propaganda".

Its such an insignificant amount of money to fund PBS. It's mostly paid by donations and sponsors anyway. If they really wanted to save taxpayers money they should look elsewhere first... but thats a harder question that might rustle a few of their own feathers. Not only do they try to take the easiest route that doesn't involve their side, but they want to make people think it's a win. PBS isnt greasing their palms, so out it goes.

PBS provide contrary content to right wing, that is why its a threat to them.

Isn't that why Grokipedia exists? Musk more or less said exactly that.
